The initials IRA most commonly refer to:
Iraí is a municipality in the state Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
IRA - Polish rock band formed in 1987 in Radom by Jakub Płucisz (guitar), Wojciech Owczarek (drums), Artur Gadowski (vocal, guitar), Dariusz Grudzień (bass) and Grzegorz Wawrzeńczuk (keyboards). They gained a wide popularity in Poland in the early nineties, mainly after releasing the "Mój Dom" album, with the hit title song, which was still during their garage and semi-professional days. They also gained some local popularity amongst the Polish-speaking citizens in the United States, where they lived and worked for few months. After signing a professional contract back in Poland, they released a few albums which didn't prove to be commercially successful (except for the "Mój Dom" follow-up, which was "IRA 1993"), and the band disbanded afterwards. Artur Gadowski started a solo career. He opened for Brian May before his show in Warsaw in September 1998. Artur's solo efforts weren't very successful either, and what success he did gain was largely based on the then legendary status of IRA. A few years later the band reunited, and exists up to now. Once again, they have not attained much popularity, but are well-known amongst hard rock fans in Poland (though they play mainly pop-oriented hard rock), and their concerts are selling rather well.
When tyranny will have an end around the world
And freedom has become a part of all our lives
When slavery will have an end to all of us
Then we don't mind the colour of our skin
We go straight for paradise no more treason no more lies
One day we will know what we are fightin' for
Under the eternal sky we unite to be free from your spell
Someday we will know what we are cryin' for
Under the eternal flame that's called freedom again we unite to be free
Dictators and pretenders we don't need no more
No more sending death and soldiers round the world
When no one listens to you and just turns around
Then your worlds'll be blowing in the wind
We go straight for paradise no more treason no more lies
One day I will know under the eternal sky
We unite to be free from your spell
Someday we will know under the eternal flame
That's called freedom again we unite
When tyranny ended and slavery has brought to fall
Then freedom will show that the world we do live in is worth to fight for
One day we will know what we are fightin' for
Under the eternal sky we unite to be free from your spell
One day we will know under the eternal flame
