Justin Bieber – One Time ASL


“One Time” by Justin Bieber in ASL. This song is for my sister Beth 🙂 I chose to interpret this in English word order because, as a beginner, it’s much easier for me to do it that way. I can’t think in ASL word order yet. The program I used to add the music cropped the video a little so now you can’t see some of the signs 🙁 Sorry!! I didn’t know it was gonna do that. Thanks for all the comments!! They make me smile 🙂 🙂.

  1. @Chahfhds101 thanks for your comment! i can’t believe i didn’t think of that myself. that’s a really good idea.

  2. I liked most of your translation of the song, but in the beginning when he says in the song “your world is my world, your fight is my fight, your heart is my heart” u glossed it “YOUR WORLD MY WORLD” etc. but to make it better u should prolly gloss it. YOUR WORLD MY WORLD SAME. just a suggestion. and u also need to add some more facial expressions and some emotion/passion. it just looks like your reciting signs. that also prolly depends on xperience. keep practicing!!!

  3. @nevernicolebeth thank you so much!! everyone keeps asking me to do a “how to” video so maybe when i’m not so busy with school i will 🙂

  4. @laurrtube nope she’s hearing! i did this song for her as a joke because she didn’t like it.

  5. This is so so so cute 🙂 I’m doing a song in ASL now, so I’m looking around for insiration. Good job 🙂 Is your sister deaf?

  6. Omg I couldnt stop smiling through out the video.! You were amazing.! If you could do a slower version so I could possibly learn it, you would be the best youtube chick alive.! It was amazingly cute by the way haha. 😀

  7. @kynziecutie thanks so much for your comment! i’m glad you liked the video 🙂 i learned how to do this by taking sign language classes at my university.

  13. @AMJolene that could also be a regional difference too. everyone does it differently 🙂 i’ve just seen the ILY more than anything else in chicago so that’s what i used!

  14. The I love you sign is ok… just SOME ASL people don’t use it b/c it’s an “English” sign… but it is fine 🙂 You could just say I love you with the arms crossed in front of the chest or the sign. Either is fine. I asked my ASL professor! Lol. You do a great job! this is a hard thing to do to translate songs because the topic-sentence structure is very hard to incorporated. Great!!

  15. so pretty ! and im a beginner too, thinking in ASL word order is hard ! ahah
    good jobbb ! i love jb too (:

  16. I agree with “JustLee” he wont stop doing it haha. Great job btw really its amazing 🙂

  17. You Are Amazing. Im Learning This From You And Its Great. Its Easy, Although, This Is Not The Only Thing Im Doing. I Love ASL And Im Trying To Learn It Fluently, But This Video Was Just A Bonus For Learning ASL. Good Job, You Are Great. 😀
