Go on home British soldiers

Es una canción rebelde irlandesa que anima a las fuerzas británicas que están en Irlanda del Norte desde 1969 para dejar el país.

Trata de expresar la cólera hacia el ejército británico y el gobierno, así como la expresión del apoyo al Ejército Republicano Irlandés y el republicanismo irlandés en general.

El himno es pacifista y de protesta. En ningún momento ha tenido la intención de incitar a la violencia directa contra nadie, sólo a no resignarse ante la presencia británica en Irlanda. Los jovenes crearon un grupo y se rebelaron contra los invasores británicos. Fue hecho famoso por Éire Óg y versionado posteriormente por Banda Bassotti.

Go on home British soldiers go on home,

Have you got no fucking homes of your own?

For eight hundred years we've fought you without fear

And we will fight you for eight hundred more.

If you stay British soldiers, if you stay

You'll never ever beat the IRA

The fourteen men in Derry are the last that you will bury

So take a tip and leave us while you may.

Have you got no fucking homes of your own?

And we will fight you for eight hundred more.

So get out British bastards leave us be.
