Freedom and Captivity
Saoirse agus Daoirse
He had his freedom
bhí a chuid saoirse aige
It’s clear he was a proud and handsome animal
Is léir gur ainmhí bródúil agus dathúil é
He was living his life in the wild
Bhí sé ag maireachtáil a shaol san fhiántas
Nobody was bothering him at all
Ní raibh éine ag cur isteach air ar bith
Without a doubt he ruled “na teochrasa”
Gan amhras, bhí sé ag rialú “na teaochrasa”
He is living in a zoo now
Tá sé ina chónaí sa zú anois
He lost his freedom
Chaill sé a chuid saoirse
Wild
In the wild
Fiáin
San fhiántas
There’s only one tree in his cage
Níl ann ach crainn amháin ina chás
He despairs when he thinks of…
Bíonn éadóchas air nuair a smaoiníonn sé faoi
Two different types of life
Dhá cinéal éagsúla den saol
The importance of freedom for animals
An tábhachtacht a bhaineann le saoirse d’ainmhithe
He is famous because he was wild, powerful and beautiful
Tá sé cáiliúil mar bhí sé fiáin, cumhachtach agus dathúil
He used to have dignity
Bhíodh dínit aige
He was full of energy
Bhí sé lán le fuinneamh
Now he is in captivity
Anois tá sé i ngéibheann
People come to the zoo to look at him
Tagann daoine chun féachaint air sa zú
He is unhappy with his life because he has no freedom
Tá sé míshásta lena shaol mar níl aon saoirse aige
He would like to be free
Ba mhaith leis a bheith saor
