Ten years Cbefore I saw the ligGht of morning, C
a comCradeship of heroes was laid, F
from everFy corner of the world came sailing G
the FifGth InternationG7al Brigade. C
They came tGo stand beside the Spanish people, C
to trCy and stem the rising fascist tide, F
Franco's allies Fwere the powerful and wealthy, G
Frank Ryan's Gmen came from the other sidG7e. C
EvGen the olives were bleeding, C
as the battleC for Madrid it thundered on, F
trFuth and love against the force of evil, G
broGtherhood against thG7e fascist clan. C
ViFva la Quinta Brigada,
"No PasarFan", the pledge that mGade them fight. C
"AdelanteC" is the cry arouEmnd the hillside, Am
lFet us all remember Gthem tonight. C
Bob HilliaCrd was a Church of IrelGand pastor, C
form KillaCrney across the Pyrenees he came, F
from Derry Fcame a brave young Christian Brother, G
sGide by side they fought anG7d died in Spain. C
Tommy Woods aged sGeventeen died in Cordoba, C
with Na Fianna Che learned to hold his gun, F
from DublinF to the Villa del Rio, G
where he fought anGd died beneath the blazing sG7un. C
ViFva la Quinta Brigada,
"No PasarFan", the pledge that mGade them fight. C
"AdelanteC" is the cry arouEmnd the hillside, Am
lFet us all rememberG them tonight. C
Many IrishmeCn heard the caGll of Franco, C
joined HitlerC and Mussolini, too. F
Propaganda fFrom the pulpit and newspapers, G
helped O'Duffy to Genlist hiG7s crew. C
The word cGame from Maynooth, "Dupport the Nazis!" C
The men ofC cloth failed again. F
When the Bishops blFessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire, G
as they sailedG beneath the swastika to Spain.G7 C
ViFva la Quinta Brigada,
"No PasarFan", the pledge that mGade them fight. C
"AdelanteC" is the cry arouEmnd the hillside, Am
lFet us all rememberG them tonight. C
This songC is a tribute Gto Frank Ryan, C
Kit ConwCay and Dinny Coady, too, F
Peter Daly, CFharlie Regan and Hugh Bonar, G
though many dieGd, I can but namG7e a few. C
Danny Boyle, BGlaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly, C
Liam TumilsCon and Jim Straney from the Falls, F
Jack Nalty,F Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy, G
Jim FoleGy, Tony Fox and DiG7ck O'Neill. C
