Ay Carmela |
| Ten years before I saw the light of morning, |
| A comradeship of heroes was laid, |
| From every corner of the world came sailing, |
| The Fifth 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 |
| Viva la Quinta Brigada |
| "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight |
| "Adelante" is 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 |
| 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 Quinta 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 Quinta 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 Quinta Brigada |
| "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight |
| "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside |
| Let us all remember them tonight |
