La Lettre Jèrriaise 23/05
Every year, on 18th May, the young people of Wales send a message of peace and goodwill to the world. This message has been delivered every year since 1922, even during the second world war and it was first broadcast by the BBC in 1924.
This year, their message told us of the difficulties with which we are now living, notably the coronavirus, and it was translated into 57 languages, including Jersey's native tongue, Jèrriais!
For our Lettre Jèrriaise this week, Jèrriais teacher Ben Spink, brings us the translation he created. It's called 'Arrêtez l’Hôlouoge et R’quémenchiz' - 'Stop the Clock and Start Again' .................................................................
To the people of the world - Nature has shaken us – awakened us. We are spending needlessly. We are wasting needlessly. We are travelling needlessly.
To the young people of the world - The time has come for thanks. Thank you to the front line workers who’ve been our lifeline. Together we can create a better future. A future of caring for ourselves and others. A future of caring for the less fortunate in our communities. A future of caring for our planet.
It’s time to act!
Dear leaders of the world. Coronavirus has stopped the clock. Listen to the young people of Wales and the world, standing together. Act now and be responsible for our future. The world has awoken. Now you must wake up too.
