Translation in English by Fatou
You who want to be my future president, I’m writing a letter to you to tell you what I want.
You who want to be my future president, I want enough water, and fresh too, electricity that is enough, roads that are very straight and many hospitals and schools that are good, and much more.
You who want to be my future president, I’m writing a letter to you.
I want to see plants growing , no one hungry and no crying and Senegal to be improved.
We the children are the future of this country and we need to know how we are going to change this place.
We need to put it up up in the front.
You who want to be my future president, I am writing a letter to you to tell you want I want.
You who want to be my future president. I dreamed that I took a train from Dakar to Ziguinchor. Oh, when will that happen? I love Senegal.
You who want to be my future president. I am writing a letter to you to tell you what I want. Thank You
Fatou – great job on the translation, it’s very accurate and nicely written. Having lived in Senegal, I like how well the video shows scenes from there. You will tell us more about what Senegal means to you, right? And what’s happening there politically? Whoever is the next president definitely should read this letter. I think it’d be a good letter to any president, don’t you?
It’s Tor, who now also speaks French (after living in Bordeaux for the last 7 months)! I can barely understand that video, and because it is sub-titled in French makes me think that the song is in Sengalese (is it?). And like the girl in the video, I too dream of taking a TGV from Dakar to Ziguinchor!
Hey that would be cool. Having to live in Senegal for 2 years and learning the language called Woolf and it is Tor. I liked your article about trains that was cool.
I think that we have a good future president here…..
Yes we do like him and his name is Macky Salal I think. Thank you for all the comments anyway it means a lot!
hello you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
