"From the Capital" Song

[Glory Lurker]

I've always struggled with the words for this [we need a "dunce" smiley!]. I don't think I'm the only one, judging by the efforts of some of the folk around me in the east yesterday - can I be permitted just to sing "away away a-wow"?

[_hucks_]

Alee alee allay ooh, alee alee allay ooh, Hibernian FC, from the capital. I think!

[Glory Lurker]

Alee alee allay ooh, alee alee allay ooh, Hibernian FC, from the capital. I think!

Thanks - although I'm having trouble even reading that!

[yeezus.]

The guys standing behind me yesterday didn't have a clue either - they were sort of mumbling their way until the "Hibernian FC" bit.

Sorry, is it "Allez allez allez oooooooh" or "Allez allez allez ohhhhhhh"? There's a world of difference and I always thought it was the latter. Nae wonder I get strange looks!

Technically i think it's "allez allez allez au". The french word "au" which sounds like "oh" so I'd say the latter.

[Newry Hibs]

Is the tune from somewhere else (i.e. a song) or is it a bespoke chant?

Eintracht Frankfurt fans sing it, there's a few videos of them singing it on YouTube.

Looks great.

[Northernhibee]

Sounded brilliant yesterday.

:agree:

Definitely the latter. Otherwise we'd sound like Kenneth Williams.

Just think "homage to Le God" :sauzee: and you'll get the idea :greengrin

You'll get the rhythm of it after a few goes...the stress on 'allez' changes for the third one:

ah-LAY ah-LAY AH-lay ohhhh...

Sounded fantastic yesterday.

[madabouthibs]

Brilliant yesterday, but imagine this at Hampden?? :not worth

[Green Man]

I've read about the song on here but yesterday was the first time I'd heard it, it was in full swing when I got to my seat. Only took me a couple of times through to pick up the words :greengrin
I love it, it's a great rhythm for bouncing :thumbsup:

[frazeHFC]

Love how much the song has caught on, great when everyone bounces to it. :flag:

[Sylar]

First heard this against Dundee a couple of weeks ago and it was brilliant.

The "Hibs for the Cup" effort on the other hand is bloody awful!

Do you mean Turnbull's Tornadoes? If so, wash your mouth out!

I've nothing against the song itself - it doesn't translate well to a crowd chorus!

It's one of the songs that gets sung the loudest so is very good imo. :agree:
