    The first would be better. Keep in mind, though, that it's a literal translation that doesn't quite hold as much weight as the original.

    Saoirse na spéire.
    Saor ó imní.

    These are all really good suggestions, though they'd have slightly different uses. Here's what they mean:
    Freedom of the sky
    Free from worry
    Without limits/restraint

    Thanks! I love the saoirse na spéire. Might use that instead.
