Every year Beautiful Jersey or Man Bieau P'tit J猫rri is sung at the main Liberation Day service in Liberation Square.

This year Sadie Renard performed the song singing the first verse and chorus in the islands own language Jerriais and then the second verse and final chorus in English.

Below you can read both the English and Jerriais versions of the lyrics and a copy of the performance as it went out on 成人快手 Radio Jersey.

Beautiful Jersey

There's a spot that I love that I ne'er can forget,
Tho' far I may roam 'twill be dear.
For its beauty will linger in memory yet,
Where'er o'er the world I may steer.
Dear Jersey, fair Isle, of the ocean the queen,
Thy charms are so many and rare;
For love finds a home 'mid each beauteous scene,
My heart ever longs to be there.

Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea,
Ever my heart turns in longing to thee;
Bright are the mem'ries you waken for me,
Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea.

On thy shores I have wandered in glad days of yore,
With one who is dear to my heart.
And the love-links will bind us as one evermore,
Although for a while we must part.
And oft in my dreams do I see the dear place
The dear little Isle of the sea,
And in fancy I gaze on a sweet loving face,
The face that is dearest to me.

Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea,
Ever my heart turns in longing to thee;
Bright are the mem'ries you waken for me,
Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea.

Man Bieau P'tit Jerri

Y'a un coin d'terre que j'aime, que j'n'oubli茅thai janmais -
Dans mes pens茅es tr茅jous preunmyi -
Car j茅 n'vai rein 脿 compather 脿 ses bieaut茅s
Dans touos mes viages 脿 l'锚trangi.
J猫rri, man paradis, pus belle taque souos l'sol茅 -
Qu茅 j'aime la paix d茅 chu J猫rri!
L'amour l茅 veurt, j'ai si envie d茅 m'en r'aller
脠rvaie man chi猫r p茅tit pays,

Man bieau p'tit J猫rri, la reine des 卯les -
Lieu d茅 ma naissance, tu m'p芒sses bein pr猫s du tchoeu;
脭, tchi doux souv'n卯n du bouon temps qu' j'ai ieu
Quand j'pense a J猫rri, la reine des 卯les!

J茅 connais touos tes charmes; et combein qu' j'en ai joui
Auve eun-茅 chi茅the anmie, aut' fais!
Quand m茅me qu茅 pouor a ch't heu j茅 n sais pon tout pr猫s d'lyi,
N'y' a rein qu' J猫rri dans mes pens茅es.
Et pis, comme tout bouon J猫rriais, dans l'fond d'man tchoeu
J'ai grand envie d茅 m'en r'aller
Dans l'卯le tchi m'a donn茅 tant d'amour et d'bonheu ,
脠rvaie ma chi茅the et man siez-m茅.

Man bieau p'tit J猫rri, la reine des 卯les -
Lieu d茅 ma naissance, tu m'p芒sses bein pr猫s du tchoeu;
脭, tchi doux souv'n卯n du bouon temps qu' j'ai ieu
Quand j'pense a J猫rri, la reine des 卯les!

Do you think this would work as the islands anthem instead of Ma Normandie or are you happy with Ma Normandie when celebrating Jersey?
