Dún Laoghaire
Nota para no-irlandeses: Se pronuncia algo así como "daun liri".
Otra pequeña ciudad de la Bahía de Dublín a la que se puede ir en dart. No nos entretuvimos mucho allí, ¡es muy aburrido!No hay mucho que ver además de las fotos que acabo de subir. La playa es bastante maja y tiene algunos edificios raros y antiguos... y eso es todo.
Rocas en la playa... la visión más interesante que tuvimos.
No pude resistirme y tuve que sacarle una foto al cartel. ¡"Corr's", como mi grupo favorito! No creo que tenga nada que ver con ellos, pero simplemente me hizo mucha gracia.
Apart de eso, lo único interesante que sé de Dún Laoghaire es que los camisas azules (irlandeses que se unieron a Franco y Hitler en la Guerra Civil Española) salieron de aquí. De hecho, esta entrada no era más que una excusa para dejaros la letra de una canción irlandesa que me encanta.
CHRISTY MOORE - VIVA LA QUINTA BRIGADA
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
PD. Si queréis que os la traduzca, sólo tenéis que decírmelo.
