Barack Obama's inauguration speech: "know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child" with Persian subtitles

Saturday, January 24, 2009

I've been watching a lot of BBC Persian online since they started their new daily television service in the language (apparently it's already been kind of banned in Iran) which is perfect timing for me. Today on خبرنگاران (khabarnegârân, News Reporters I think) they had an excerpt of Barack Obama's inauguration speech with subtitles so I've written them down here along with the original English. Let me know if I've made any errors.



And so to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.


به همه مردمان و دولتهای دیگر...
از بزرگترین پایتختهای دنیا گرفته تا روستاهای کوچک...
مثل جایی که پدرم در آنجا به دنیا آمد
می گویم که آمریکا دوستی برای همه ملتهاست.
دوست هر مرد و زن و کودکی که رویای آینده ای پر از صلح و کرامت را در سر دارد...
و در این راه ما آماده ایم که بار دیگز پیشگام باشیم
.
