Description
Although initially it was just an Irish folk song, it was frequently used by the IRA during the Irish civil war and quickly became the unofficial anthem of the Anti-treaty forces.
NB! The line "Óró! 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile" does noe mean "Oh-ro! Welcome home" as shown on screen. As it happens, Irish is a very contextual language, and a very little known fact about this song is that the chorus actually means "Wake up! Your birth-right is back home", the line serves as a call to action for the Irish people, rather than a welcoming proclamation.
