Back Home In Derry

[@stevebarry3104]

A true Irish hero, Nothing more noble than to give your life for your beliefs.Not many have ever been so brave .putting country and other's before your own existence. God bless you Bobby. And damn the cowards who didn't see you as an Irish soldier with rights. May they be feeling the heat of Hell. Erin Go Bragh👍☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸🙏❤️

The melody is from "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" -- songwriter Gordon Lightfoot said he always thought his song was an Irish ballad -- Bobby Sands was able to write poignant, brilliant songs and poetry, in spite of the hell of the H-Blocks -- incredible hero who sacrificed his life for Ireland

"My God shine on you Bobby Sands, for the courage you have shown."

@@Luisdiaz-rx4vf Habla de q tuvieron q abandonar la dulce ciudad de Derry x motivos de vecinos malos y otras visicitudes.Narra las cosas q tuvieron q pasar en manos de los ingleses,quienes forzaron a los irlandeses a emigrar en masa hacia otros paises,entre ellos Australia,EEUU y x acá también.I wish I was back home in Derry,significa: Desearía volver a casa en Derry.Yo sé inglés y aprendí la canción,toca el corazón.Los irlandeses tienen un dicho q dice así: Tiocfaith ar lá!!!Logré saber hace poco q significaba eso,y significa: Nuestro Día llegará!!!Se refiere al día de Justicia y plena LIBERTAD de Inglaterra.No por nada en la canción "Tribute to Admiral Brown"(Homenaje al Almirante Guillermo Brown) hay una estrofa q dice q ellos conocen la prepotencia y lo matones q son los ingleses, por lo de Malvinas,ya q ellos conocen la historia completa de como son los ingleses,imaginate 7 siglos de constante hostigamiento!!No te vayas de esta vida sin estudiar la historia de Irlanda Luis!!Q tengas buen descanso!!

Bobby Sands was a true humanitarian. Cared only for his people. A true hero. And so were his comrades of course. All fought and died for the same cause. Irish liberty.🇦🇺♥️🇮🇪

[@annehardy3905]

I’m English, with Irish heritage on mams side. I grew up a catholic in the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne. My mam wanted to protect us from the Irish troubles. My infant school headteacher was a wee Belfast woman. In the 60s she educated me. As I grew up, I travelled to the North. Now I’m very clear where I stand. First time I went to Belfast , I was so much more comfortable where there wasn’t a union flag flying. Strangely , my husband , not a Catholic, felt the same. We went many years and always felt safe in the falls road area.

Don't forget that the original tune to this sone is actually done in the 70's by Gordon Lightfoot in a song called "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" And nope it is not the other way arround. ;) Still I prefer "Back home in Derry" though hehe.

1:09 Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings; From the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams, Its islands and bays are for sportsmen; And farther below Lake Ontario, Takes in what Lake Erie can send her; The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd put 15 more miles behind her.
