Dubliners, The - The Rising Of The Moon Lyrics

Them: "you can have the aux cord, but don't play any Orange shit"
Me:

DEATH TO ALL THE TRAITORS

Thanks Will. ♥️

IRELAND FOR THE IRISH!

356-993 the leaders of this rebellion were Protestant

Wow what a great song from A drop of the Had Stuff Album the Great Luke Kelly and the Dubliners

"AND A THOUSAND PIKES WERE FLASHING BY THE RISING OF THE MOON"....class.

The Irish influence on old Appalachian America is huge

I love how this song emphasises aspects of Irish paganism (The moon, banshees, rivers) as an extra "fuck you" to the British.

up the fuckin RA

I played this when the Celtic Pantheon came out in Smite

Here's a history of the rebellion:
This song is about the rebellion headed by an Anglican man called Theobald Wolfe Tone, who staged the rebellion after learning from both the American and French revolutions.
Unfortunately, his organisation, the United Irishmen, was riddled with informers, who had many leaders arrested.
The rebellion continued however, with the epicenters being Armagh in northern Ireland and the area around dublin.
The rising in Armagh was a complete failure, and the Dublin rising didn't go much better.
It was in Wexford in the south east the United Irishmen saw the most success, but were eventually defeated at the Battle of Vinegar Hill (yes really).
During this time, Wolfe Tone had been in Paris, convincing the French to assist him in the rebellion.
The French eventually sent around 4000 men to assist, but the fleet carrying them and Wolfe Tone was attacked and defeated at the battle of Lundy Island, from where the fleet was forced into Lough Swilly in the north.
As he tried to slip away, Wolfe Tone was recognised by a British officer, and he was arrested.
He spent a night in Derry Jail, and was from there taken to Dublin, where he was found guilty of treason, and sentenced to hanging, while Tone wanted to be executed by firing squad.
He commited suicide that night.

Хелависа всё одно лучше и душевней поёть))

Many a night around the campfires the boys of the 12th
Louisiana Vol. Inf. CSA (re-enactors) would sing this song. How different the
official Irish history would be if it were written and enforced by the English
invaders. Captive nations have no official defenders.

Do the Irish ever stop whining? No surrender.

Tiochfaidh ar la.

We shall never forget the men of 1798 I know I, won't I had 2 uncles aka brothers who fought at Vinegar hill, but we shall not forget the brave french also coz, among them 50,000 Irish there was a small 5,000 of french men who fought alongside our ancestors.

2 minutes....

Keep your powder dry, lads.

All hail the I.R.A

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

And at the rising of the moon the moonlight men went about their business.

Πόντια είμαι από γονείς πρόσφυγες του 22 .δεν καταλαβαίνω λέξει πιστεύω πως μιλάει για ελευθερία , υπέροχο!

How sad that such a great country as Ireland has sold itself to the EU Superstate. What was that? Death to every TRAITOR?

To my brothers and sisters the freedom-loving Irish and brother Luke Kelly and the Dubliners!

This is the second song that I heard when 2019 arrived and I heard it THREE TIMES! The first one was the Soldiers Song (the Irish National Anthem)I need the motivation to stand up to Nazism and fascism that is returning back in mainland Europe! Now, I want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your families. Let's hope that the traitors and the appeasers do not stop you from breaking out from the EU Prison and Warden Mr. Juncker and all his assistant and associate jailers! I am ecstatic about the British Brexiting 29th of March 2019! It will be a date that will all be proud to live through that tremendous historical event! The proud Irish people do not need their laws to be made in Brussels where the stench of fascism is becoming more and more overwhelming as the time passes! We are brilliant people, and we can decide what is good for us. We will able to trade freely we other nations including the US where it has a vast Irish population! We do not need the EU Court of Justice issuing arrest warrants without Habeas Corpus and have our freedom loving citizens who did not violate Irish law dragged and imprisoned in the EU or more appropriately the Fourth Reich! We need to protect our homes and our dignity and not to have our citizens lose their homes and properties! We do not need homeless Irish people in the streets. The EU is dominated by Germany that is the most influential economic power in the EU. It is already a strong military power in the EU, and it will get much stronger! Brothers and sisters all you need to do is read some history books that have not been revised, and you will realize that when Germany is strong, it dominates! Mr. Bernard Connolly who worked in the financial sector of the EU also wrote a book with the title “The Rotten Heart of Europe.” In this book, Mr. Connolly exposes the fact that the EU is nothing more than a cloak for German ambitions. The greatest beneficiary of the economic crises is Germany with its large trade surpluses, etc.!

It is time for PM May to realize that the EU or more appropriately the Fourth Reich is nothing more than a continuation of the Third Reich. Here are some interesting facts that support my statement!

The British newspaper the Telegraph on the 18 of November 2018 published a very eye-opening article with the title: “Was Margaret Thatcher right to fear a united Germany?” I want to share the opening paragraph of that article:

“We do not want a united Germany,” Margaret Thatcher told President Gorbachev at a lunch meeting in the Kremlin in September 1989, two months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. “This would lead to a change to postwar borders, and we cannot allow that because such a development would undermine the whole international situation and could endanger our security. ...” I strongly recommend you read the entire article!

Mrs. Margaret Thatcher was evident on this account. This is what she said on a speech given in the at Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the USA in October 1995:

“You have anchored Europe to a newly dominant, unified Germany. In the end, my friends, you’ll find it will not work.”

Mr. Martin A. Lee also wrote a very alarming book with the title “The Beast is Reawakening.” Here is an interesting quote from this book:

“Something awful was laid bare by the fall of the Berlin Wall. The fascist beast had reawakened and was on the prowl again.”


IT IS TIME FOR OUR BELOVED ISLANDS TO BREAK OUT OF THE EU PRISON!

We the people of the islands
we all cherish our freedom,
and we will never compromise it
with the Rotten Heart of Europe!

We the people of the islands
will never accept the Charlemagne spirit
nor the spirit of Napoleon
and of Benito Mussolini!

The spirit of Charlemagne is hovering
over the mainland of Europe,
and now I can see the ominous
clouds of fascism forming!

For these reasons, we must act
and free ourselves from the EU Prison
and chart our destiny
with happiness and freedom!

Let all the bells of freedom ring
in Saint Patrick's Cathedral
and in the historic city of Tipperary
and in the Fields of Athenry!

By Angelo O'Klonis.

Long live freedom and dignity! It is time to break out of the EU Prison. It is time for all the freedom loving people in Europe to chart their destiny! It is time now to say to the Warden of the EU Prison, Mr. Juncker, and all the assistant wardens Adiós y ¡hasta luego!

FREEDOM MOTIVATION POEM!

I have one thing to say to you all
and nothing else to say
Lets all of us get drunk
from the Eternal Wine of Freedom!

With my most profound respect and wishes for the Year of Liberty!

Angelo O'Klonis.

IRISH KILT:
Our people the Irish and the Greeks are united through suffering, history of oppression and slavery. We are now suffering inside the EU Prison the Fourth Reich! The Greeks were slaves for 400 years, and we were slaves for 800 years. Notice the fact that we were slaves for a period twice as the Greeks and I am delighted that the Greeks were not slaves for 800 years. Slavery is an institution of Satan, the devil. Our wise Israeli professor Dr. Solomon who taught us the glorious history of Greek 1821 revolution and your modern history taught us about the Greek kilt. The Greek kilt has 400 folds. Each fold represents a year of slavery! Today, I had an inspiration. Next year God willing I will attend the Saint Patrick's (17th of March) parade in New York. Saint Patrick is the Saint of Ireland. Naturally, I will dress in our Irish kilt. The critical information is that your glorious history has inspired me! On Saint Patrick's parade, I want to start a new Irish tradition by learning from the Greek noble traditions!

There are two solutions. The second one seems the more practical.

I want a white kilt like yours that has 800 folds. I want white kilt because it represents the purity of both the Irish and the Greek people. Each fold represents a year of Irish slavery. However, this solution is not as practical. Since our histories are so related, I can use a Greek kilt that has 400 folds. However, in the case of Irish history, each fold will represent two years of slavery! The 400 fold kilt is the practical option, and this is the option I will choose. Here are the reasons:

1) I can get your kilt from Greece. The only requirement it has to cover my knees.

2) I am honoring you by wearing this kilt, and even with my kilt, I will be "wearing" the kilt that represents the history of both of our heroic nations Greece and Ireland!

Now you might ask why I put Greece before my beloved Ireland. The answer is straightforward:

Greece is the country has given the world including to Ireland, the US the UK and other nations the greatest gift. That gift is the ETERNAL DEMOCRACY that now the Fourth Reich (EU) is casting it to the ground! What makes me very sad is that now the institution that you invented is dying in your great country as well in Ireland and other nations of Europe. I pray for the liberation of all nations that are suffering under the economic occupation of the German-dominated Fourth Reich (EU)!

WHAT'S WITH THESE GODDAMN ADS???

We must secure the existence of our people and future for our white children

God CURSE fokin england ,with love from Russia!!

Bobby sands was a great songwriter

I have always loved this song, so beautiful

This is the tune of "The Orange and the Green" by the Irish Rovers. This may have preceded it though.

It’s also the tune of “The wearing of the green”.

"If they aren't able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won't break you. They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then we'll see the rising of the moon.
"
—final lines of the final entry of Bobby Sands' hunger strike diary

Love this Song so much :)

Holy hell nostalgia

IRA - forever!

Get The Pikes Ready

if you don't get fired up by his song then you're simply not Irish!!

The moon doesn't rise

Yes it does..., every day in fact, although not always when visible.

Snow Doesint Fall.

This great song gives me the motivation to continue fighting the Nazi and fascist ideology that discriminates against races of people and religion, freedom, and democracy! This is the second song I heard with the coming of the new year of 2018. The first one was "The Dubliners--The Fields Of Athenry." by our spirited singer Paddy Reilly! This is very emotional for me! I bring tears to my eyes! Long live freedom and dignity! It is very symbolic because I can see the dark clouds of Nazism and fascism hovering over the continent of Europe again! It is noteworthy that as of now the German pro-nazi party the AfD is coming second in the polls for the first time in the history of Germany after WWII. That is an ominous sign for all of us!

You truly inspire me for the cause of freedom great Irishman Mr. Kelly! By the way, I had a great Irish captain on a freighter Captain Paul Kelly, and I was very close friend with his son, and we study together at the university! God bless you and long live freedom and liberty!

Here is another update regarding the ominous thread that Nazism and fascism are posing in Europe. It is to the credit of the democratically minded Irish people that voted down most of the EU referenda! I am very proud of that fact! The great author Mr. Bernard Connolly exposed the fact that the EU (Fourth Reich) is a cloak for German ambitions. It is time for Ireland to exit this undemocratic institution! Here is an alarming article:
Reuters Staff
2 MIN READ

BERLIN (Reuters) - German security services have identified dozens of public servants, including in the police and army, as belonging to a far-right movement that denies the existence of the very republic they serve, the weekly Der Spiegel magazine said.

A report drawn up by the security services estimates there is a “high duble-digit number” of public servants who belong to the “Reichsbuerger”, or Citizens of the Reich, a mystical nationalist movement which maintains that the Reich continued after Germany’s defeat in World War Two, Spiegel reported.

Investigations are underway against 11 members of Bavaria’s state police, five of whom have been suspended from duty. There have also been 11 cases in Germany’s Federal Police and four of them have had their service weapons confiscated, Spiegel said.

Up to five cases have been identified in the armed forces.

The German domestic intelligence agency declined to comment on the Spiegel report.
It has previously estimated that the Reichsbuerger have a total national membership of about 16,500 and considers 900 of these to be “far-right extremists”.

German authorities are highly sensitive to signs of far-right radicalism in their ranks.

The post-war German Federal Republic was founded as an explicitly liberal project to repudiate the crimes of the Nazis’ Third Reich, which committed some of history’s worst crimes, including the genocide of six million Jews.
Despite a ban on groups that threaten political violence or seek to overturn Germany’s constitutional order, some individuals do fall through the cracks.

Investigations are still underway against a former high-flying army officer who last year was found to have been plotting to carry out violent attacks.

A member of the ‘Reichsbuerger” shot dead a police officer in Bavaria in October 2016 as a police team was about to enter his home to seize his hunting and sports guns. Authorities deemed he was not fit to hold them as a member of the group.

CONCLUSION: Ireland and all freedom minded democratic nations need to take action now! We need to get out of the undemocratic and German-dominated EU! Even the EU flag is occultic. It is the Babylonian Zodiak. Inside the circle of the twelve stars, there is a hidden swastika. Behind the swastika the Satan himself is hidden!
Very respectfullyAngelo O’Klonis

This feels nostalgic, somehow. Cheers to the Irish, from Canada <3

Uppppppp the ira

A rousing song directed at the bloody British Army !!!!!

Ireland will forever be a greater country than England. I tip me hat t'ya

Legend! RIP Luke!!!

My theory is that the 1798 Irish Rebellion, and the 1792 French Revolution were both inspired by the American victory against the Brits in the American Revolution. I suspect others thought they too could rid themselves of a King.

Ahhh good theory! Woww.. yes people wanted to be rid of that dark Brit cloud. And here we are.. How are ya? Hope you and yours are doing alright. Bless.

Britain - “Eh whatever we’ll go find someone else to colonise”

Theobald Wolfe Tone heavily beaded his plan for an Irish government on the French Revolution, having a directory set up in Dublin, and it's certain that the fact the French and Americans had revolutions made him and his followers believe that they could also rise against Britain.

William Liddell the Irish rebellion was only popular in some parts of Ireland most Irish were either neutral or against it that’s the sad thing

1789 was the French revolution and they hated their own King just as much as the British one

Beautiful instrumentals.

is that when the catholics got stuffed at the battle of the boyne by william of orange with the protestants , who beleive in the same god as the catholics ???

Great Song

May be the only way to repair our present day government.

It's Independence Day in my country but I'm listening to Irish music.
May my conationals forgive because I don't feel guilty at all

Its July 3rd . ( im from the US) Tomorra' is the 4th. NEVER FORGET 1776. ♥ My own people -- RIP and love. True independence from British Rule. So thankful for the veterans of our Independence. And God Bless Ireland as well. My grandmothers both were Irish. Beautiful ladies.

When sped up to 1.25 it actually sounds like a march!

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so
Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be
At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me
One more word for signal token, whistle out the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon

Out from many a mud walled cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning's light
Murmurs ran along the valley to the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

All along that singing river, that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor, whistle out the marching tune
And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon

'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon

" The Rising of The Moon, The Wearing of The Green, and Benny's March " have the same melody. This is "A" typical Irish. The Dubs and also The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Make have immortalized this sing. Salute !

Orange>Green

This makes my hair stand.

Goose bumps.

Death! To evry foe and traitor!

I love the patriotic music of ireland unlike the unpatriotic people themselves

whiskey in the jar

Luke kelly folk legend

great song. what happened in the year mentioned?

The song is about the Irish Rebellion against the British in
1798.  It was written in the 1860s to inspire
another rebellion, the Fenian Rebellion, which took place in 1868.Another song about 1798 is called Boolavogue, also recorded
by the Dubliners.

Ff go bragh 🇮🇪

RIP Martin McGuinness

I wanna lift a mountain everyone I hear this

Favourite Dubliners one

den sórt sin a chur ar ghaiscíoch mór amhrán

United Irishmen failed because of sectarianism on both sides and made worse by English propaganda .

You do not think Scotland is about to make Englands life miserable after Brexit?
I do think Scotland will serioulsy ask and get more regional independence now....

Peter Magro Scotland has to be stupid not to have a second refrendum.

Amazin'

THAHK YOU FOR ROBERT EMMET 4 GENERATIONS LATER IRELAND UNITED

I bare orders from the captain get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be

One more word for signal token whistle out the marchin' tune
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshees lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

In the first four passages it sounded more like they were saying "At the rising of the moon"

Well they fought for poor old Ireland and full bitter was their fate, oh what glorious pride and sorrow fill the name of '98 yet thank god while hearts are beating each man bears a burning wound we will follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon

@Comrade Danny they are

@Comrade Danny Yes it's certainly "at the rising of the moon"

I can't play a musical instrument, but for roleplay's Sake when I play a Bard I always try to actually sing when I support my group. I so often choose lyrics from the Dubliners.

you're doing it right

you can play any instrument you want. if you believe you can. It takes very little to learn and then- you're flying. I come from musical people but I believe we all can play something. Give yourself a chance and fly. I promise. You can.

Stand in the street. Ready to fucking die. Getsoooooome

Thank You for posting this! I love it!

Who gives a t**s about politics,listen to the music.
patjohn.

@Pat Aherne Yes of course it is AS an E nglishmAN with links to Ireland I love this song

This is literally about a war 🤦

1798 rising nothing to do with IRA ffs

thats how u win. our masters keep us divided by religion and race. come together and oust the bastards

I think OP is saying that the IRA as an established group was nonexistent in 1798, which is true; technically the IRA did not exist until after the Easter Rising. The IRA formed a unified front in response to the English executions and imprisonment of Irish Republicans as a result of the Easter Rising. The roots of the Irish Republicans can be traced back to the Norman Invasion of 1066, but the IRA as a united fighting force was nonexistent until 1919, before that they were just Irish Republicans rebelling against the English rule over Ireland.

it's like saying Jesus was a christian

Micheál Ó Braonáin yet more Irish fought in the British army at this time rather than rebel movements

Yeah actually they did....but cmon lets dance a wee one.. ....

This tune makes waking up worth it.

If you like this one, listen to Maids When You're Young by the Dubliners

+Reynard Waltz thanks!

I wish waking up was worth it by default.

this song always makes me cry

I know that feeling man: for me though is Tramps and Hawkers, also sang by Luke. Something about it just gets me, everytime :)

Wade Wilson ware

We may not know it but our souls cry for martyrs who fought for freedom

is brea liom gaelige

Yup The Donoghues.

God bless the IRA!

Divine Europa this is the consequence of commie brainwashing, fucking zombies.

Onyx1916 i think you mean the provos

When my mother was pregnant with my brother, she suspected the IRA were sending letter bombs to her apartment. These people were cowards and murderers.

@Chris Tully exactly Chris, my enemy's enemy is my friend....by any means necessary.

i thought this melody was The Orange and the Green

+sandra boudeau The original melody is "The Wearing of the Green"

and come tell me Sean O Farrell.....

where the gathering is to be by the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me

Tell me why you hurry so?

Luke Kelly with Ronnie Drew's rumble in the background

Like peanut butter and jelly. <3

@Prof. Luigi PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

Beautiful, 100% guilty of copying this

is the original 1700s verson on any records anywhere?

Nice.😁

When he says hush me bocal (bow-kal)? In the beginning. Does anyone know what this means? Is it a gaelic word for friend?

@Jason Strassnerit is an irish word and means boy, it is spelled buachall, jackie

+Jackie Oconnell a 2 year thankyou to you hahaha!

Such a great song

Question:  Is this song about what happened before the Battle of Vinegar Hill or an entirely different dust up?

@Grafton Hale 1798

Luke Kelly's music is almost the only thing that calms down my panic attacks, <3

The thought of hundreds or thousands of angry Irish men with pikes would GIVE me a panic attack!

He soothes the fire burning in my ulster/irish blood

Seriously, ancestors are calling.

Haha / You mean the British were big into grand larceny in every country. Nothing to do with religion , it wasn't their land.

Gotta love it when someone gets nervous once and then thinks that they know everything about panic disorder. WeirdlyDeerly, I don't mean to make assumptions, but if you have panic disorder, or perhaps another related anxiety disorder, then I think it's obnoxious for that commenter up there to make comments that boil down to "just get over it." If music helps you to feel better when you feel a panic attack coming on, then no one should talk down to you for that. You should seek therapeutic help if this is an ongoing problem that impedes on your everyday life, but self-soothing through music isn't something that anyone should fault you for, and there should certainly not be anyone telling you that you "sound weak" and "need to control your emotions."
P.S. Luke Kelly is a legend!

Since all their weapons had been confiscated by the ENGLISH, these brave men turned their BOATSMAN PIKES into weapons.  So many Scots died that it inflamed even more of the population to rebel against the BRITISH !!!

@kevin3224 if you confiscate a man's weapons you should expect to reap some hellfire
End up with an Armalite in yer ear

+senor gammon King James bible is riddled with satanic symbolism. The plantation was satanic

Trilby425 they are second rate Irish ethnically gaels pretty much destroyed savage Picts

May by the grace of the above Scotland and Ireland be totally free one day of suppression rules

kevin3224 You are so fucking retarded
