Pack Up Your Sorrows
Joan Baez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come wander quietly and listen to the wind
Come here and listen to the sky
Come walking high above the rolling of the sea
And watch the swallows as they fly

There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings
There is no choir like their song
There is no power like the freedom of their flight
While the swallows roam alone

Do you hear the calling of a hundred thousand voice
Hear the trumbling in the stone
Do you hear the angry bells ringing in the night
Do you hear the swallows when they've flown?

And will the breezes blow the petals from your hand
And will some loving ease your pain




And will the silence strike confusion from your soul
And will the swallows come again?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joan Baez's song Pack Up Your Sorrows speak of finding solace in nature and the freedom of flight. The opening lines invite the listener to come and wander quietly, to listen to the wind and the sky, and to watch the swallows as they fly high above the rolling sea. These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, which speaks of finding comfort and peace in the beauty of the natural world.


The next stanza speaks specifically of the swallows and the power of their flight. There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings or choir like their song, which speaks to the emotive impact of their presence. The swallows are depicted as roaming alone, perhaps a metaphor for the idea that one can find freedom even in solitude.


The final stanza poses a series of questions, asking if the breezes will blow the petals from one's hand, if someone will ease their pain, and if the swallows will come again. These questions are open-ended and invite the listener to reflect on themes of transience, impermanence, and the cyclical nature of life.


Line by Line Meaning

Come wander quietly and listen to the wind
Take a peaceful stroll and pay attention to nature's sounds


Come here and listen to the sky
Be still and attentive to the natural world around you


Come walking high above the rolling of the sea
Elevate yourself and listen beyond the noisy ocean waves


And watch the swallows as they fly
Observe the birds in motion


There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings
The birds' flight is so graceful that it can be saddening to witness


There is no choir like their song
The birds' singing is unmatched and awe-inspiring


There is no power like the freedom of their flight
The birds fly with unbridled power and liberation


While the swallows roam alone
Despite their freedom, the birds are still solitary creatures


Do you hear the calling of a hundred thousand voice
Are you listening to the collective call of humanity?


Hear the trumbling in the stone
Listen to the rumble of the earth


Do you hear the angry bells ringing in the night
Are you aware of the discontent and chaos in the world?


Do you hear the swallows when they've flown?
Are you still listening to the birds even as they depart?


And will the breezes blow the petals from your hand
Will life's changes cause you to relinquish what you hold dear?


And will some loving ease your pain
Will the care of others help to alleviate your sorrows?


And will the silence strike confusion from your soul
Will solitude cause you to question your purpose?


And will the swallows come again?
Will the birds return to greet you once more?

on The Rose

Und selbst wenn
alle Dunkelheit
Der Nächte
In den Tagen läge

Und selbst Erwachen
Schwer

ich fände doch
Zu Dir
Es führen Wege
Selbst wenn
kein Ausweg
durch die Tür

We burnt Each Other
everlastingly
Our Sign
Of truest Love that
Overcomes
The loneliness
And wildest
cry

When we embrace
and kiss our
Wounds

The Smile remaining
When we caress us
Will be
What lets us
deeply , sad
and of most
tenderness
Acknowledging
and
In our Minds
Forever
Found and
Not to destroyed
And we will
Feel that
We are Unite

The Ring i had lost
I‘ve found again
It’s prayer and Your Love
You Sent
A Turquoise of Arizonas Depth
Your heart in myne
And at The Turquoise
Coast beneath your Hill
We‘ll make Love
We‘ll follow our destined
And guiding
Will
Ich bin Dein Du Mein

on The Rose

For a moment
in a Night Times Blessing
I left You in my Loves Embrace
as like a Flower
~ a Rose ~
and Purity her name
in darkness,
that was to bloom
in Heaven’s place.

as for the Love
in me
was not Disgraced,
A Lasting Kiss ,
A smile
a Light
A heart
that burns
throughly Memories
Forever Living

As Nighttime fell
As Nighttime falls
I‘ came, l’ll come and be
The One You‘ll see
The Love you feel

Just like a wild dog
Runs
Through Bushes
Of fences
And calamities

I passed my way to You
Through even
Greatest adversarities

The Rose of Sharon
Schmückt meinen Mund
~trotz Ausgebissen Zähne
In des Lebens Leid~
Wir Küssen uns
in purest Love
That went through

To and fro
And come and go
And I came back to You

Forever and Forevermore
