Viva La Quinta Brigada - Christy Moore (Cover) by Seth Staton Watkins MY LINKS: https://linktr.ee/Sethswatkinsmusic "Viva la Quinta Brigada" is a Christy Moore song about the Irishmen who fought in the Spanish Civil War against Franco and the fascists. The title was inspired by a Spanish song about the war, Ay Carmela, in which "Viva la Quinta Brigada" is the opening line. Moore wrote this song choosing to focus on the Irish socialist volunteers, also known as the Connolly Column, who were a small contingent within the 15th International Brigade (the song was first published as Quinta by mistake, or fifth, but changed to Quince, or 15th, in later releases). The melody is substantially similar to the version of Viva la Quince Brigada recorded by Pete Seeger and the Almanac Singers in the early 1940s. The song was inspired by Spanish Civil War veteran Michael O'Riordan's 1979 book Connolly Column. Moore said: "Without Michael O'Riordan I'd never have been able to write Viva la Quince Brigada. I must have performed the song over a thousand times and every single time I sing it I think of Mick and wonder how can I ever thank him enough. In Spain in 1983 I was reading his book, Connolly Column – the story of the Irishmen who fought for the Spanish Republic, and I began this song as I read on. The song was lifted entirely from his book." Lyrics: [C]Ten years be[G]fore I saw the [C]light of morning A comradeship of [F]heroes was laid From every corner of the [G]world came sailing The Fifteenth [F]International [C]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 [C]Viva la Quin[F]te Brigada 'No Pasaran', [G]the pledge that [C]made them fight 'Adelante' is the cry around [Am]the hillside [F]Let us [G]all remember [C]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 Side by side they fought and died in Spain Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun From Dublin to the Villa del Rio Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun Viva la Quinte Brigada 'No Pasaran', the pledge that made them fight 'Adelante' is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco Joined Hitler and Mussolini too Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew The word came from Maynooth, 'support the Nazis' The men of cloth failed again When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain Viva la Quinte Brigada 'No Pasaran', the pledge that made them fight 'Adelante' is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar Though many died I can but name a few Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill Viva la Quinte Brigada 'No Pasaran', the pledge that made them fight 'Adelante' is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight
