Rebellion
(Trad)
The history of Ireland is a history of oppression
And the struggle of the people against it
A history of grasping landlords and conniving politicians
Who sought to deprive the people of their birthright
At regular times in Ireland's past, these grievances
Have boiled over, and the ordinary people have reacted
To them in the only way open to them – Rebellion!
