67 Our home

Uri jib,
The place in which we live.
The Earth, our shared mother.
Her loving embrace comforts us.

But we, humans, have let her down.
Fires, and fuel emissions.
Choking and fighting with her other children.
Are we really sure that our needs need to be put first?

Humari parivaar,
The entire population,
Plants, animals and organisms.
We each share this land, this planet.

Laat ons lekker saam woon.
In our ever after world.
Gahle, gahle, we can all live, in harmony.

Ràng wǒmen hǎo hào shēnghuó,
As neighbours on this planet.
Faisons de la Terre un meilleur endroit où vivre, ensemble.

Die Berge und Flüsse,
The cities, villages and towns.
Wide open skies and crisp clean air, is her gift to us.
Anē amē śuṁ karyuṁ?
Rydym wedi difetha popeth ac mae'n bryd inni ei drwsio!

Eayilati, kayf nuslih hadha?
Subete no sensō o owara se, umi o shizumeru.
This division has created problems, and hurt our mother Earth.

So today, I ask you,
An gcabhróidh tú liom le do thoil?
Daha iyi bir yarınımız olsun diye,
For future generations.

í dag er allt sem við eigum,
Quindi facciamo il primo passo.
Na-enyere ibe ya aka,
Save our planet from dying.

Let's make the rubble disappear,
Učinimo da ratovi izgledaju kao loš san,
Kuunza mambakwedza matsva munyika yedu.
laz nakh amal a regnboygn shaynen, azoy vi far nkh aun zeyn ark.

Ümüt jana süyüü,
Pave the future,
The oblivious become aware and the blind will see.

Então vamos plantar árvores.
Maṟṟum pūmiyai kuṇappaṭuttuṅkaḷ.
Rannungte tanpui rawh
It's the only way forward in our repentance.

i kēlā lā i kēia lā, i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, hoʻōla mākou.
Smiytesya zi mnoyu,
Cry with me,
Pentru că suntem oameni.

Pray, eat and love.
No chto by my ni delali, davayte delat' eto vmeste

Happy Earth day family!
