The only thing wrong with the American dream

00:00:05.129 --> 00:00:07.798

is people too many people

00:00:07.965 --> 00:00:11.802

too many of us telling young people that the dream is dead

00:00:12.999 --> 00:00:15.018

They told me that when I was growing up in the slums of Trenton

00:00:15.305 --> 00:00:16.089

And they were wrong

00:00:17.998 --> 00:00:19.056

They told me that when I decided to run for senator

00:00:19.685 --> 00:00:22.604

with only 58 in my savings account

00:00:22.073 --> 00:00:26.358

And they were wrong and they are still telling me that now

00:00:26.483 --> 00:00:29.999

that I don't have a chance because I'm black

00:00:29.153 --> 00:00:31.001

because I don't have the right nose

00:00:31.155 --> 00:00:34.742

because I still only have 58 in my savings account

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.301

الخطأ الوحيد بالحلم الأمريكي

00:00:03.372 --> 00:00:05.968

هو أن الناس الكثيرون منهم

00:00:06.044 --> 00:00:10.247

كثيرون منا يقولون للشباب أن الحلم مات

00:00:10.032 --> 00:00:13.155

هذا ما قالوه لي عندما كنت أكبر بشوارع ترينتون

00:00:13.226 --> 00:00:15.458

و كانوا مخطئين

00:00:15.053 --> 00:00:20.529

هذا ما قالوه لي عندما قررت ترشيح نفسي للرئاسة و معي 58 دولار في حسابي

00:00:20.607 --> 00:00:23.169

و كانوا مخطئين

00:00:23.246 --> 00:00:27.998

و لازالوا يقولون لي هذا الآن أنه ليس لدي فرصة لأنني أسود

00:00:27.152 --> 00:00:32.619

لأن أنفي غير سليم لأنه لازال معي 58 دولار فقط في حسابي

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.716

Le seul problème du rêve américain ce sont les gens

00:00:05.008 --> 00:00:07.805

Trop de gens parmi nous disent aux jeunes

00:00:08.097 --> 00:00:10.001

que le rêve est mort

00:00:10.353 --> 00:00:14.277

Ils me l'ont dit quand j'étais enfant et ils avaient tort

00:00:15.404 --> 00:00:16.698

Puis quand j'ai décidé

00:00:17.032 --> 00:00:20.665

de devenir sénateur avec seulement 58 sur mon compte

00:00:20.957 --> 00:00:22.961

Ils avaient tort Mais ils continuent

00:00:23.295 --> 00:00:26.843

Une nouvelle vision pour les États Unis à me dire que je n'ai aucune chance parce que je suis noir

00:00:27.022 --> 00:00:29.014

que je n'ai pas le bon nez

00:00:29.474 --> 00:00:33.399

et que je n'ai toujours que 58 sur mon compte

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.834

единственное что не так с Американской мечтой это люди

00:00:04.984 --> 00:00:10.007

Слишком многие люди Слишком многие из нас говорят молодым что мечта мертва

00:00:10.201 --> 00:00:15.996

Они говорили мне это когда я рос в трущобах Трентона и они ошибались

00:00:15.347 --> 00:00:17.685

Они говорили мне это когда я решил выдвигаться в сенаторы

00:00:17.838 --> 00:00:22.014

имея всего лишь с 58 на банковском счету и они ошибались

00:00:22.073 --> 00:00:26.067

И они продолжают говорить мне это сейчас говорят что у меня нет шансов

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:29.222

потому что я черный потому что у меня неправильный нос

00:00:29.264 --> 00:00:33.004

потому что у меня все еще лишь 58 на банковском счету

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.301

Lo único malo del sueño americano

00:00:03.372 --> 00:00:06.122

es que son muchos Demasiada gente

00:00:06.123 --> 00:00:10.246

Demasiada gente diciéndoles a los jóvenes que el sueño ha muerto

00:00:10.319 --> 00:00:13.519

Eso me dijeron a mí cuando era niño en los barrios de Trenton

00:00:13.592 --> 00:00:15.255

y se equivocaron

00:00:15.329 --> 00:00:17.765

Eso me dijeron cuando me presenté como senador

00:00:17.834 --> 00:00:22.242

con sólo 58 dólares en mi cuenta de ahorros y se equivocaron

00:00:22.031 --> 00:00:26.147

Y siguen diciéndomelo ahora que no tengo oportunidad

00:00:26.218 --> 00:00:29.349

porque soy negro porque mi nariz es fea

00:00:29.424 --> 00:00:33.626

porque sigo teniendo los mismos 58 dólares en mi cuenta de ahorros
