Yes We Can – In other languages

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…

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

  1. My sister made me DVR the whole thing – then we sat through it – live. I believe that the McCain camp have their work cut out for them – and I am not talking as a democrat/black/Kenyan. It really was riveting.
    I should get one of those Tees for the noisemaker in the house – he needs something to chew on for a while.
    Extending Hi’s to Kui and you and all :D
