• Tá an leon sona ag tús an dán


  The lion is happy at the start

  The
• Is breá leis a shaol


  He loves his life
• Tá sé saor


  He is free
• Sa dara leath den dáth tá brón ar an ainmhí


  In the 2nd verse in the poem, he is sad
• ba bhreá leis a bheith sa choill ach anois tagann cuaiteoirí chun e a fheiceáil


  He would love to be back in the forest but visitors come to see him
• Tá uaigneas air sa zú leis féin 


  He is lonely in the zoo
