Filíocht - Géibheann - Téama an Dáin

Is é daoirse téama an dáin seo.

Captivity is the theme of the poem Géibheann

Tá ainmhí ag caint sa dán seo.

An animal is talking in the poem.

Ainmhí álainn fiáin as na troipicí atá ann.

It is a beautiful, wild animal from the tropics.

Tá bród air mar tá clú agus cáil ar a áilleacht.

It is proud because it is famous for its beauty.

Nuair a bhí sé saor, chuir sé crainn na coille ag croith lena gháir.

When it was free, it shook the trees in the woods with its roar.

Ach anois, tá sé i ngéibheann sa zú.

But now, it is in captivity in the zoo.

Tá a shaoirse imithe.

Its freedom is gone.

Tá saol leamh leadránach aige.

It has a dull boring life

Níl ach crann amháin le feiceáil aige.

There is only on tree to be seen.

Tagann na céadta daoine ag féachaint air.

Hundreds of people come to look at it.

Tá frustrachas air mar ní ligfidh na daoine amach é.

It is frustrated because the people will not let it out.
