All the World Has Gone By

Joan Baez

Originale	Irish transcreation by Gabriel Rosenstock
ALL THE WORLD HAS GONE BY	TÁ AN SAOL IMITHE LEIS
All the world has gone by	Tá an saol imithe leis
All the winds have gone by	Tá na gaotha imithe leo
Now you and I are going by	Tá tusa is mise imithe linn
For hope is the flower of childhood	Sé bláth na hóige é an dóchas
And memories sister to silence	Deirfiúr an tosta í an chuimhne
And tears are the anguish of truth	Arraing na fírinne – deora
For children are choirs of starlight	Is páistí mar chór na réaltaí
And petals are names by your bedside	Peitil ina n-ainm cois leapa
And dream are the murmurs of yesterday's rose	Is an bhrionglóid mar mhonabhar ón rós inné
All the world has gone by	Tá an saol imithe leis
All the winds have gone by	Tá na gaotha imithe leo
Now you and I are going by	Tá tusa is mise imithe linn
For fear is the masking of reason	An eagla mar mhasc ar an réasún
And freedom is false without honor	Is bréag í an tsaoirse gan onóir
And peace is the flame we hold in our hands	Síocháin mar lasair againn ’nár lámh’
For men are the leaves on the willow	An duine mar dhuilleog na sailí
And love is the whispering wind	An grá mar chogar na gaoithe
And the gardens we share are never alone	Is na gairdíní ’roinntear, nílid leo féin
All the world has gone by	Tá an saol imithe leis
All the winds have gone by	Tá na gaotha imithe leo
Now you and I are going by	Tá tusa is mise imithe linn
All the world has gone by	Tá an saol imithe leis
All the winds have gone by	Tá na gaotha imithe leo
Now you and I have gone by	Tá tusa is mise imithe linn
