Irish Translation Forum

I was wondering if anyone spoke the Irish Gaelic language and could translate this phrase for me:
"nothing gold can stay". It's from a movie and I was thinking about getting it tattooed on me (not to sound cliche) but since I am mostly Irish. I've tried using translators, but I really wanted it to be the correct sentence.

I really appreciate any help,
Thanks.

Does it mean that nothing can remain gold forever? Or that nothing gold is allowed to stay? I assume the former, but not having seen the movie, it's always best to check.

yes, the first meaning. i think thats why i had such a problem trying to tranlate it on my own because its not really literal.

It's actually from a very famous poem by Robert Frost:

Redwolf

its actually in that movie and book as well...

wait for more opinions.

I would have said "le haon". Is that a dialect thing?
