Wolfe Tones - You'll Never Beat The Irish | Текст песни

You'll Never Beat The Irish
Part 3

In 1922 well they divided up our land
Six counties held by England, it was all they could command
against the wishes of the majority of the people of our land
they drew a border through our country, through town and home and mountains

Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do

Then the country was engulfed into a bloody civil war
between those against the treaty, and those who voted for
George the IV, he opened Parliament
for the stalled in the north
while the rest were building Ireland
from the ruined colonial lashes

You'll never beat the Irish
no matter what you do
you can put us down and keep us out
but we'll come back again
you know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
you should have known
you'll never beat the Irish

Then Edward, George and Elizabeth, looked after Ireland's fate
they watched discrimination grow in a gerrymandered state
homes and churches burnt, while the orange power did grew
discrimination bigotry in housing, jobs and liberties

Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do

From the ashes of the past, the Phoenix did emerge
a new declared republic, on the world it did converge
the search for piece, prosperity and unity in our land
we too are locked in Europe, till they made their peace agreement

You'll never beat the Irish
no matter what you do
you can kill us off and put us down
but we'll come back again
and exterminate us too
we are the fighting Irish
we'll fight until the end
you should've known
You'd never beat the Irish

Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do

Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do

INFORMATION:

We need 150+ pages to tell the story of Ireland, while Brian Warfield manage to cram eight centuries of Irish history in one song (split over three parts though).

If the verse starting with "You'll never beat the Irish / no matter what you do" sounds very familiar you are probably a sports fan. Since the 2002 World Cup this verse occasionally pops up during international football and soccer matches (except those organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association, GAA, of course).

The expression "faugh a balla" is the Anglicised form of Fág an Bealach. This yell, usually translated as clear the way, was used by the Royal Irish Fusiliers and the Irish Brigades, among which the Fighting 69th.
