"O'Donnell Abú" - Irish Rebel Song

"O'Donnell Abú" was written by the Fenian songwriter Michael Joseph McCann in 1843. The title refers to Red Hugh O'Donnell (Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill), who ruled over Tyrconnell during Tyrone's Rebellion, 1593-1603. The title itself is a Gaelic war-cry: “O’Donnell hurrah”.
Performed by Liam Clancy & Tommy Makem, 1977.

Great drumming!

[@carolusmagnus9757]

You've posted O'Donnell Abú, and the song of the sanfedists? This is my favourite channel on KZbin, this and Ex Cathedra

[@balladsofhistory]

Thanks. It’s a great song nevertheless, a Fenian classic.

[@damomcg1982]

What a tune. Tír Chonaill abú!

Virgin Eoin O'Duffy versus the chad Red Hugh O'Donnell

[@siebertlimpens7213]

I'm happy to be Irish 💚🤍🧡

[@47thSouth]

eternal classic

Our true national flag 🟩☘️

[@debhin]

If only there was a referendum to change it back. Definitely won't be, sadly. But anyways if there was I don't think it would pass 😔

[@FionanUaMurchadha]

@@debhin I think we might have to in unity, the unionists won't accept the tricolour, it's seen as the PIRA national flag, so the Green Harp might come back into fray hopefully

[@debhin]

@@FionanUaMurchadha yeah it's sad that the tricolour lost its meaning anyway

[@FionanUaMurchadha]

@debhin It's ironic that the peaceful flag became the extremist flag

[@pariotawsome124]

I love listening to this

[@theredseventhousand]

How do i turn up the volume to ONE HUNDRED???

[@volkul251]

Втративши мову ірландці не втратили індивідуальності. Надіюсь зчасом гельська ще лунатиме гучним співом з кожного куточка Ірландії.

Irish has not died yet, Erin go bragh

[@aidanpower7115]

What was the yellow flag in the start of the video

[@balladsofhistory]

The heraldic banner of Clan O'Donnell

[@aidanpower7115]

​@@balladsofhistorythanks :D

[@Beorthere]

This has the same tune as O'Duffy Abu?

[@vonbeedle554]

No. Those sorry lot of Blueshirts of O'Duffy's thought they could even compare that Free State traitor to somebody like Red Hugh, so they copied the tune and made their own shit version.

[@seanohartaigh2209]

Does anyone know of a song about the tipp team in the 50s and 60s to the same air? It mentions pat stakelum.

[@BlueBird-wb6kb]

But it's in English xD Sorry but you've already lost the cultural battle and I say this as a Ginger.

[@balladsofhistory]

So? Numerous Irish Rebel songs are sung in English, nothing new here. For some reason you glanced over all the historic context as to why English supplanted Gaelic to begin with. Please take your brain-dead critique elsewhere, or at least reconsider it.

[@danigee8694]

Gael here. Most irish rebellion songs are sung in English for multiple reasons spreading from its the primary language in Ireland so all peoples will understand to it being used so it targets the people songs like this are addressed to

[@Felix_Carvalho]

This guy probably isn't even from Ireland also what about the most famous songs like "Come Out ye Black and Tans"?

[@byeyaveanicetime6520]

and your ignoring all the songs that are as gaelige?

U are ginger Do not speak
