People in these comments saying people in Belfast consider themselves British. I am from Belfast and I'm 100% sure I am Irish. Wouldn't have fought for many years if we wanted to consider ourselves British!
Tiocfaidh ar la, up the R.A., Irish comrades! We share our solidarity with the Irish republican cause from Latin America!
Same I'm from Belfast myself 100 percent Irish catholic nationalist
Yes last time I checked my passport said that I'm a IRISH CITIZEN
May God shine on you Bobby Sands for the courage you have shown
May your glory and your fame be widely known.
35 years today, Bobby Sands - never forgotten. True son of Ireland
Ashli Babbit and Aaron Danielson are in heaven with Bobby Sands
Scottish mother with Irish ancestry and an English father with Irish ancestry from Wicklow proud of my ancestry and proud to be a republican
As an english/polish - white - girl, who bothered to learn a small bit of irish history, I love this song, and I love the wolftones x
"And you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun." After stealing land and refusing to recognize the rights of a sovereign nation to hold an army of their own. Ireland is a sovereign nation and they have every right to their own army! Stop stealing land that isn't yours! Then you march parades down this land and rub it in their faces! "Go on home, British soldiers, go on home!"
HAVE YOU GOT NO BLOODY HOMES OF YER OWN!
@@thechickenender813 for 800 years we thought you without fear
As an Ulster Protestant I love traditional music and feel very moved by the very sincere and honest lyrics that have been written through our more troubled times and in celebration of sacrifice of those who fought and died for what they believed was their personal struggle. Let's hope and pray no more of our people die, but moreso show each other more compassion.
So you believe that N.I. should join Ireland and leave Britian...?
@@-jank-willson Don't remember saying that at any time???
RIP to the 10 brave men that died for what they belived in!!!
Not just one of Ireland's greatest songs, This is literally one of the best songs ever written certainly ballads and rebel tunes easily number one unbelievable song with meaning and power.
Love love this song, remindes me of my parents. Who were born in belfast and left their home land due to the troubles and would play these songs on the weekend very loud and as a teenager in the states I didn't want to hear it,
My parents have passed and now I sadly understand what they were trying to teach me about Ireland, glad that all is well in Belfast now, too bad mum and dad didn't get to see that
sharon longpre j
Sorry to hear about the loss of your parents may god of giving dem a good bed in heaven you should come back to the emareld isle sister
So basically they shat it and left guys like Joseph to take up the fight ..
Tiocfaidh ar la, up the R.A., Irish comrades! Your beautiful songs and resistance inspire the anti-imperialists of the whole world! We share our solidarity and red salutes with the Irish republican cause from Latin America!
God bless you Bobby sands
amen & Joe McDonnell. Up the Provos Big Love
I just returned from a trip to Ireland and meet with 3 of the Hunger Strikers. To hear their stories was powerful and to see the dedication that still exists today by these three indivduals is amazing. That night, I went to a Pub in Derry and the local musicians started to sing and play this Joe McDonnell song. Within the first line of lyrics, everyone joined in, including myself. This day was a moment in my life that I will NEVER forget, and the people will always have a place in my heart.
Well said!!!
Glasgows heart beats with yours.....
I used to listen to this song with my dad...Now he's gonna be gone for a while and I don't know when I'll see him again..
1 of the best Irish songs for one of Irelands bravest and most Courageous heros
I shall never forget the first time my boyfriend played me this song i fell in love with it the moment i heard it and The Wolfe Tones this song speaks loud and clear what the English has done to Ireland and Scotland and many more .SCOTLAND ,IRELAND AND CELTIC FC FOREVER IN MY HEART AND SOUL AND SOON ONE DAY I SHALL BE COMING HOME TO WHERE MY TRUE HEART BELONG.I SHALL LOVE YOU FOR ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.xxx "Tiocfaidh ár lá"
Those guys were incredibly brave. They will never be forgotten. They are in inspiration.
One of the greatest ballads ever written, about one of irelands greateast soldiers, god bless
Bobby Sands was a great great brave man and the men that followed him R.I.P
One of my favourite Irish rebel songs (though mild enough).
About a man happily growing up in a town, meets a partner and wants to do best by his family. But circumstances intervene and his behaviour causes him to go to prison.
He questions (critically assesses) why he is called 'terrorist' - considering what that British had done in other parts of the world.
In jail, he reflects on what led him to prison. He responded with violence to what he saw was injustice and cruelty. Anyway, regardless of the rights and wrongs - he ends up in prison under poor conditions. So him and a few of the other lads begin a hunger strike.
He laments why people don't seem to care.
Lads just trying to do the right thing - thinking and reflecting on the 'why' of things.
Its songs like this that makes me feel proud to be Irish (expressive, creative, reflective, standing up for what is thought to be right).
I think its from traditions and songs and stories that societies grow and learn.
They used to sing it in Anstruther near the museum there.
Kepler Mission
where is anstufter
I’m actually related to him
You forgot how they sacrificed their very lives:
i think some people in this great nation have forgotten what people like joe sacraficed to free us from oppression. god bless them. x
May God shine on you Bobby sands.
And God bless all the men and women the world over that have gave there lives fighting oppression.
Class song with alot of meaning
There is no music barr Irish music that can truly touch every fibre of your being. Well for me it does. Much of it can be traced back centuries. I lived just up the street from this man the song is about. A plaque commemorates him on the family wall. F Thatcher! The words she used on the news one evening angered me to the core - "Murder is murder is murder". While these selfless men were dying. That was a woman that was cloaked in blood. Great and truthful song.
this vid is awesome,but ive seen the lads twice recently and Tommy still sings this just as good,greatest ballad singer ever,and ive told him so!! up the Wolfe Tones legends!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in holland the last 18 years. My granny used to be a cleaner at the leisure centre in Andytown. Its different now. I come here to remind myself of back then. Andytown always looks like this in my head. She loved a good rebel song.
Quick recap - Co Limerick - Ireland - Belfast - Ireland - Down/Antrim - Ireland - No matter what you do or say we are connected and I'm so happy you're gettin it on with the Wole Tones - Good Man!!
God bless joe a million times, men like him need no monument!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
ANYONE WHO AGREES THUMBS UP FOR THE IRISH REPUBLICAN VIEWPOINT!
RIP Joe your death was not in vain. We have more rights now and the north will have freedom soon, thanks to heroes like you
As Padraig Pearce said, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
What a great country that can be proud of its heroes ...
Never forget the brave hunger strikers. May they rest in peace.
This is one of the best songs ever written.
"and you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun..."
lest we forget 1916, everyone goes on about '81, i know this is a very important point of Irish history, but 1916, the rising, those who died which ultimately led to the creation of a 26 county "free state", which i know is not wat was wanted but i believe, and so should everybody else that the creation of the republic in '26 is only a stepping stone to the creation of a true united Ireland, the way god wanted it to be! Tiocfaidh Ar La, COMMERADES ALL
Great to see people from all over the world supporting the cause of Irish freedom.
Joe McDonnell was a gallant volunteer - the Loyalist community can only dream about having such dedicated men.
RIP. TAL
This may be the greatest song of all time. Hard to argue with these lyrics:
And you dare to call me a terrorist
While you look down your gun
When I think of all the deeds that you have done -
You have plundered many nations
Divided many lands
You have terrorized their people
You ruled with an iron hand
And you brought this reign of terror to my land
God rest ye lads - true heroes of Ireland
best ballad band ever hope your next 20 stays together
Saw them live last night. This is such an amazing song.
True indeed Greendag.... Ireland unfree shall never be at peace. God love our 10 and every other brave soul for we shall never forget them x
Never forgotten. Bobby Sands and Joe McDonnell. From Germany
One of the best ever songs by the Wolf Tones. Brilliant, but sad too. When I was at school I wondered why Thatcher let these guys die, and I read everything my mother had in the house about Irish history. I never looked back.
I was born in England to irish parents and i understand what happened over the years. I am ultra proud of my irish heritage and I want ireland to be one land. My dad's lived in england for 50 years and when he came over he was a staunch republican with bitterness in his mind about the atrocities commited by the british army but he's had a family and grown old and mellowed out a little.
But the island of IRELAND is sacred in my heart
go ed joe and the hunger strikers. liverpool will always be proud & mournful.
God bless you Joe McDonnell we will not forget a son of Eire who died in vein. Trying too set Eire free g b u. Joe rip we won't forget all the hunger strikers or the people who were interned trying to stand up a for free republic to rid the country of British rule tiocfaidharla Eire og
This and 90 miles from Dublin; Just flawless.
i salute the 10,god bless their familys and god bless ireland....united ireland soon!
Getting to see the boys play tonight in Perth Western Australia. God I hope they play this.
TAL
The strikers will never be forgotten.
This song still puts a lump in my throat.
Tiocfaidh ár lá.
One of my favorite songs. Thank you
My favourite song of all time, with Real Meaning. BOY ,But they will never die in vein.
Appreciate the song for what it is. It's an Irish ballad & it's superb. There have been many songs written about the dead. Grow up, enjoy or dislike, but just grow up.
excellent song. one of the tones best ever.
this is a beautiful song it touches your heartif youknow irish history
I'm trying to find a Unionist comment but there's just too many Nationalist commnets.Keep up the good work lads!
The reason you won't find a Unionist comment here is because you lot are all brainwashed, so you would'nt understand the comment anyway. Thick catholics.
john walsh
What can be commented on though , he died for a cause , the very ones who sent him there now sit in a British Government and draw a monthly wage paid by taxpayers ? Would he have died if he knew Marty and Gerry would go on to recognise the very state he fought ??
You are brainwashed... Gun fodder of the British state. Hun.
I'm English and awake. How can I be thick with two masters degrees? Thick hun.
this song always gets to me proud to be Irish god bless Bob sands and his Conrads you will always be remembered in our irish lovely hearts Tiocfaidh ár lá
"You had plundered many nations, divided many lands. You had terrorized their people, you ruled with an iron hand"
I like the past tense to those lyrics.
It says "You HAVE plundered"

We have won much since then. Sad was the year of 1981. God, indeed, shine on you, Bobby Sands. Jahsus, to die from hunger. REMEMBER HIM, the next time, you have a hunger pain. Remember those many days, 66. And then think about your own life.

for all the supporters of the hunger strikers. i read a book called : nothing but a unfinished song. its about bobby sands life but mainly time on the h blocks. i have read thousands of books in my life. this is the only book that made me cry. its written with such passion. for me bobby write it himself amazing read
"May God shine on you, Bobby Sands
For the courage you have shown
May your glory and your fame be widely known
And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh
Who died unselfishly
And Patsy O'Hara, and the next in line is me
And those who lie behind me
May your courage be the same
And I pray to god my life was not in vain".

I shall have to watch that soon, sounds really good.
I love this song I come from twinbrook and went to andytown leisure centre often
this is a beautiful song which i hold dearly to my heart.
only problem is its the wolfe tones!!
let me explain..
we had them playing in dunloy (co.antrim) one night. before the gig they where approahed by members of the NATIONAL GRAVES
ASSOCIATION for a small donation..sadly they refused..yet the warm up band CELTIC ROUGUE doanated £500 for the up keep of the graves of our fallen...many people in dunloy swore they would not grace them again.
Spouting the Truth. Ireland can move forward however people shouldn't forget these men who sought to free their country from from centuries of oppression.
God Bless You, from your real Scottish allies.
Love this song..rip joe! 100% respect..
