íomha Flashcards
to put her message about freedom across to us
chun a teachtaireacht faoi saoirse a chur in iúl dúinn
we see the animal that is wild, fierce, independent and full of energy
feicimid ainmhí atá fiáin , bríomhar, neamhspleách agus lán le fuinneamh
he spends the long days hunting and wandering around his kingdom
chaith sé laethanta fada ag seilg agus ag spaisteoireacht timpeall a ríochta
he had life at his will
bhí an saoil ar a thoil aige
he was a proud animal and it was clear he had a sense of nobility
b’ainmhí bródúil é agus ba léir go raibh uaisleacht ag baint leis
this animal was in his prime
bhí an t-ainmhí seo i bpríomh a mhaitheasa
however we get the complete opposite of picture one in the second half
áfach, a mhalairt ar fad de phictiúr a haon a fhaighimid sa dara leath
the animals memories end and he describes the reality
críochnaíonn cuimhní an ainmhí agus déannan sé cur síos ar an réadúil
his strength and energy are gone forever
tá a chumhacht agus a fhuinneamh imithe go deo
he’s sick of life
tá sé bréan bailithe den saol
he’s depending on other people because he isn’t able to go hunting
tá sé ag brath ar dhaoine eile mar níl sé in ann dul ag seilg
he’s not angry, he’s completely worn out
níl sé feargach, tá sé sáraithe, glan amach
he accepts his fate
glacann sé a chinniúint
the contrast between the first and second verse is very sad
tá an codarsnacht idir an chéad agus an dara véarsa an-bhrónach ar fad
