Filíocht - Géibheann - Na Mothúcháin: Brón/Uaigneas

Tá an t-ainmhí anois i ngéibheann sa zú.

The animal is in captivity in the zoo now

á brón agus uaigneas air nach bhfuil sé saor ina thír dhúchais

He is sad and lonely because he is not in his native land.

Níl aon rud le déanamh aige sa zú.

He has nothing to do.

Níl ach crann amháin in aice leis.

There is only one tree beside him.

Tagann a lán daoine ag féachaint air gach lá.

Lots of people come to look at him every day.

Déanfaidh siad aon rud dó ach é a ligean amach.

They will do anything for him except let him out.
