Viva la Quinta Brigada The Dubliners

Viva la Quinta Brigada - The Dubliners
Around the time I saw the light of morning
A comradeship of heroes was laid
From every corner of the world came sailing
The Fifteenth International Brigade

They came to stand beside the Spanish people
To try and stem the rising fascist tide
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side

Even the olives were bleeding
As the battle for Madrid it thundered on
Truth and love against the force of evil
Brotherhood against the fascist clan

CHORUS:
Viva la Quinta Brigada;
No Pasaran, the pledge that made them fight
Adelante was the cry around the hillside;
Let us all remember them tonight

Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor;
Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came
From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother
And side by side they fought and died in Spain
