CATALONIA, ETA, PLO, IRA, ERL

yes abd then a decade later you were still victorious?... no i didnt think so

beautiful song,goodman christy

these two have such a prescence between them..they really make the music come to life you can feel their passion and belief in what they sing..they care about what they are singin..this is REAL music

Hi. You are right: "fifteenth" would be "décimo quinta" in spanish. But we (spaniards) usually talk about la "quince" (fifteen) brigada although this is not correct either in spanish. May be this was confusing to the author and the reason to this "artistic lisense". Anyway, the brave irish volunteers fought in the 15th brigade.

hi At the risk of sounding pedantic - In Spanish, fifth = quinto and fifteenth = décimo quinto - but artistic license is all - which we should perhaps highlight to our spanish listeners

If you key in "viva la quinta brigada" on wikipedia you will get the artistic phonetic explanation of the sound title.

other thing christy is as good, if not better, live than in the studio. Who needs technology

love the song - not one for parochial halls but doesn't quinta mean 5th in spanish.

Muy bonita canción.
What a beautiful song!

Y qué tiempo tan triste para nuestro país.
Gracias a las Brigadas Internacionales.
Libertad siempre.

ed2k link please!

What a wonderful rendition of a great song....brave men who went to fight Fascist bastards !!!

a man with a gun in his hand and willing to kill or die must be respected, F**k the sheep, right or left

adelante was the cry

no pasaran

brave men with principals should fight and die. and they were betrayed by the reds,

Christy Ah Jesus you sure know how to sing em

There is, there is a song praising the Germans for the glorious fighting skills at the Somme.

The 16th (Irish) and 36th (Ulster) Divisions fighting alongside in 1916.

One are forgotten, disowned and their memorial defaced; the other were a fundamental factor in the creation of NI.

Never heard a song about that!

Well said .Things have gotten messy since the partition, irish man killing irish man

Here here well said. Things have gotten messy since the partitian, irish men killing irish men

a truer word was never spoken

Pity we couldnt have followed in these mens footsteps rather than following the sectarian murderers and hate mongers we've listened to for so long on this wet little island.

Viva la Quinta Brigada!!!!

"Bob Hillier was Church of Ireland Pastor,
From Killarney across the Pyrenees he came,
From Derry came a brave young Christian brother,
Side by side they fought in Spain"

Irish Catholics and Protestants fighting and dying together for a common and just cause in a foreign country. They must have been turning in their graves when they saw what we did to each other at home between 1969 until the early 90s.
