Life in the forest
An saol sa choill
The woods was an open and spacious place
Áit oscailte spásmhar ba ea an choill
There were trees everywhere
Bhí crainn gach áit
The animal was free
Bhí an t-ainmhí saor
He was strong and scary
Bhí sé láidir agus scanrúil
The animal had hope in the forest
Bhí dóchas ag an ainmhí sa choill
He had a strong spirit
Bhí spiorad láidir aige
Life in the zoo
An saol sa zú
The case in the zoo is a closed place
Áit dúnta is ea an cás sa zú
There is only one tree to see
Níl ach crann amháin le feiceáil
He is in captivity now
Tá an t-ainmhí i ngéibheann anois
He is weak and tired
Tá sé lag agus tuirseach
He is now in despair
Tá éadóchas anois air
The spirit is broken now
Tá an spiorad briste anois
