It's a great day for the Irish.

Óró 's é do bheatha 'bhaile

"... a traditional Irish song, that came to be known as an Irish rebel song in the early 20th century.

The song in its original form, Séarlas Óg (meaning "Young Charles" in Irish) refers to Bonnie Prince Charlie and dates back to the second Jacobite rising, during the reign of George II in 1745-6.

In the early 20th century it received new verses by the nationalist poet Padraig Pearse and was often sung by IRA members and sympathisers, during the Easter Rising. It was also sung as a fast march during the Irish War of Independence."
