The harp that once through Tara's halls

(Sung text for setting by V. Herbert)

See original

Language: English

Our translations: FRE

The harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul of music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls,
As if that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts, that once beat high for praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.

La harpe qui autrefois dans les salles de Tara

(Sung text translation for setting by V. Herbert)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the English

La harpe qui autrefois dans les salles de Tara
Distillait l'âme de la musique,
Est maintenant suspendue muette sur les murs de Tara,
Comme si cette âme s'était enfuie.
Ainsi dort la fierté des jours anciens,
Ainsi l'émotion de la gloire a passé,
Et les battements de cœurs nés des louanges,
Plus personne aujourd'hui ne les ressent.
