Christy Moore's song is much more about Ireland than it is about Spain really.

There's peace in Ireland between the children of those who fought on both sides in Spain's Civil War, and even of those who fought on both sides in Ireland's one back in the 20s.

And please God in time the same will be true of the one we're still trying to get out from under.

And all that is part of what Christy's song is about.
