Lyrics
San Patricios
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Two hundred Irish go into Mexico
To fight a battle of manifest destiny
Driven by their Catholic conscience
They chose to rise and do what's right
Joined up with the natives for the fight
Confused then torn by aggression
Born against a sovereign land
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
Sick and tired of the anglo abuse of might
And of following orders from a bent U.S. regime
They joined ranks with the Mexican army
Red headed ones led by Johny riley
When you stand behind your principles
You never lose
Confused then torn by aggression
Born against a sovereign land
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
Fight with Riley fierce and wild
Mirar aqui Rudy
Churubusco de el 72
No queridos en la corte marcial
50 colgados, 16 madriados
Portrados como traydores
Grito para ellos, grito para todos
Parados nunca calleron
So we celebrate Irish and Mexican unity
It was forged with blood during manifest destiny
Confused then torn by aggression
Born against a sovereign land
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
Led by Riley fierce and wild
They paid highest price
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios
