  • Yes We Can - In other languages

    Posted: August 29, 2008, 7:50 am by AfroMusing

    While watching the Democratic National convention, and twittering with other citizens of the world, we started translating the phrase ‘Yes We Can’ to other languages. Here are the translations we gathered.

    Ndiyo tunaweza’ - swahili

    DNA of Soulfege
    In Ga “Ehh, wo ba nye!”
    in Akwapim Twi “Yiu, ye be Tumi!” en Anglais: YES WE CAN!

    Kaysha
    french:”Oui nous pouvons” lingala:”e, to koki” portuguese:”sim podemos”

    Kui/MJY/MamaJunkyard
    ‘we fit do am’ -Pidgin English for Yes We Can. The ‘t’ is silent.

    There are 2 t-shirt designs that my twitter friends and designers came up with…
    Kaysha designed this

    and the venerable David Kobia designed this one.

    click on the respective images to buy the t-shirts. I recommend wearing both, just because you can

    Please chime in comments with more translations of ‘Yes We Can’ in whatever language you speak.
