"The Dying Rebel" - Irish Folk Song [+Lyrics]

"The Dying Rebel" is a popular Irish rebel song about a man finding a father in the 1916 Easter Rising, and later finding the son himself, who dies in his arms. The song reflects on the human cost of rebellion rather than the glorification of the conflict. The exact origin of the song, as well as its author, is unknown. This recording was released by The Young Wolfe Tones in 2016.

No matter how hard the English and Scottish tried, they could never destroy Ireland or the Irish. They stripped away our language, our land, our culture, but we endured. Thousands died to free Ireland, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. For Ireland will never fall into the hands of oppressors again. Not while the Irish people survive.

>while the Irish people survive Yeah, Irish are going to be a minority in Ireland within this century. So congratulations on your 'freedom'.

Ireland is still occupied

You’re post should read ‘the English and Scottish ELITE’, it’s wrong to blame the ordinary man and woman on the street, let’s not forget that most people didn’t have the right to vote in Britain in the 19th century and even for much of the 20th.

Blood can store data friend! All your history is your veins. If you're stirred by it then odds are you most definitely have an ancestor or few from that land.

It’s a song relative to the European struggle for freedom against tyranny from oppressive governments that want our own freedom to be given to Islam, i die fighting against that

Does any one know this song with opening words In a lonely Brixton prison a dying rebel lay by his side a priest was standing er his soul should pass away" To the tune of Kevin Barry. This was from a family friends record from 65 years ago

Are the lyrics not ' he fought for Ireland and Ireland only' instead of 'Ireland's Glory'?

[@dodie4661]

Yes...

The night was dark and the fight was over The moon shone down the Gaza Strip I stood alone where brave men perished Those men have gone, their God to meet My only son was shot in Jenin Fighting for his country bold He fought for Palestine, and Palestine's glory The red triangle, olive green, white and black The first I met was a hijabi mother Searching for her only son I said "Setti, there's no use searching Up to Jannah your son has gone" My only son was shot in Jenin... The woman cried out broken hearted Bending low, I heard her say "I knew my son was too kind hearted I knew my son would never yield" The last I met was a dying rebel Bending low, I heard him say "God bless my home in Sheikh Jarrah And bless the cause for which I'll die"
