Pirates!
Just finished watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At worlds end. Well done movie which raps up the trilogy nicely. I was highly impressed with how the film opened. While seeing bodies, upon bodies, of pirates who have been hanged, a company man reads an order to the public stating that rights of habeas corpus and all freedoms and liberties associated with it, have been suspended, all people suspected of being or aiding a pirate are to be executed immediately. We watch a group of men hang, and see long lines of people awaiting their turn to die. A young boy is brought forward and with noose around his neck, he begins to softly sing, slowly other in the line begin to sing as well, until all the people waiting to be executed are singing loudly. It was a brilliant scene and a good movie. I Recommend seeing this film. What are your thoughts on the song, scene, and movie?

Here are the “Hoist the Colours” Lyrics.
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we’ll roam.Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage…
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green!The bell has been raised
from it’s watery grave…
Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high…
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
Sarah Just one Correction Fiddler’s Green has nothing to do with Christianity. Fiddler’s Green features in an old Irish legend that a sailor can find the paradisical village by walking inland with an oar over his shoulder until he finds a place where people ask him what he’s carrying. This legend may have some of its origin in Tiresias’ prophecy in Homer’s Odyssey, in which he tells Odysseus that the only way to appease the sea god Poseidon and find happiness is to take an oar and walk until he finds a land where he is asked what he is carrying, or why he is carrying a winnowing fan, and there make his sacrifice. The story of Fiddler’s Green was published anonymously in a 1923 U.S. Cavalry Manual, and is still used by modern cavalry and artillery units to memorialize the deceased.
it is also used to refrer to Tír na nÓg. Tír na nÓg (also Tirnanog or Tirnanogue; Old Irish Tír inna n-Óc; Irish pronunciation: [t?i??? n??? ?n??????]), in English the Land of Eternal Youth or the Land of the Ever-Young, is the most popular of the Otherworlds in Irish and (more generally) Celtic mythology. It is perhaps best known from the myth of Oisín, one of the few mortals who lived there, and his relationship with Niamh of the Golden Hair. It was where the Tuatha Dé Danann or sídhe settled when they left Ireland’s surface, and was visited by some of Ireland’s greatest heroes. Tír na nÓg is similar to other mythical Irish lands such as Mag Mell and Ablach.
Tír na nÓg was considered a place beyond the edges of the map, located on an island far to the west. It could be reached by either an arduous voyage or an invitation from one of its fairy residents. The isle was visited by various Irish heroes and monks in the echtrae (Adventure) and immram (Voyage) tales popular during the Middle Ages. This otherworld was a place where sickness and death do not exist. It was a place of eternal youth and beauty. Here, music, strength, life, and all pleasurable pursuits came together in a single place. Here happiness lasted forever; no one wanted for food or drink. It was the Irish equivalent of the Greek Elysium, or the Valhalla of the Norse.
Tír na nÓg plays a major role in the tale of Oisín and Niamh. To get to Tír na nÓg an adventurer needed a guide; in Oisín’s case, Niamh plays the role. They travel together on a magical horse, able to gallop on water, to the Blessed Realm and the hero spends some time there. Eventually homesickness sets in and Oisín wants to return to his native land. He is devastated to learn three hundred years have passed in Ireland since he had been with Niamh, though it seemed to him only one. He goes home on Niamh’s magical horse, but she warns him not to touch the ground, as the weight of all those years would descend upon him in a moment. While Oisín is helping two men move a stone, he falls from the horse and ages in an instant. It is suggested that Oisín fell from his horse in the area of Elphin, County Roscommon. This story bears a striking similarity to many other tales, including that of Urashima Tar?.
That all is so intresting! Thank you all for this information. Before I have found this page, I have read something about “Fiddler’s Green” and I confirm that it is a place from mythology as Shaun has just said.
Good stuff, bookmark +1
I have heard there is going to be a forth film. Hopefully it will not have Zac Efron in it. I was wondering if those lyrics were correct as there is speculation that they are wrong? I just wanted to confirm that. It is a beautiful piece, very well composed by Hans Zimmer.
well all i think is if people are so concerned that they got like 5 Lyrics wrong and they have to tell the person i think they r just stupid and have no life
Agree
n’ i wanna know which would be the topic of the 4th movie?
I hate to be a stickler, but the first verse does not contain the words “haul together”, it’s “all hands”
