Context: Óró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile is rooted in Irish history as a traditional tune that became a rebel song through centuries of political change, originally associated with welcoming Bonnie Prince Charlie during the third Jacobite rising of 1745–46 and reflecting support for his cause in Ireland. In the early 20th century Irish nationalist leaders like Patrick Pearse adapted its verses to celebrate native resistance figures such as the pirate queen Grace O’Malley and it was widely sung by Irish Volunteers during the Easter Rising and the Irish War of Independence.
