Seven Seconds

Album: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N'Dour Durasi: 5:06

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol dal diné yaw li neka si yaw

Mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughness and rudeness we should be using

On the ones who practise wicked charms

For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone

Battle is not over, even when it's won

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept of the tone of skin it's living in

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of skin it's living in

It's not a second

But seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

But seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout

J'aimerais qu'on oublie leurs couleurs pour qu'ils espèrent

Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils désespèrent

Je veux les deux mains ouvertes

Des amis pour parler de leurs peines, et de leur joie

Pour qu'ils leur aient des infos qui ne divisent pas

Changez!

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

But seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of skin it's living in

And there's a million voices

And there's a million voices

To tell you what you should be thinking

So you better sober up

For just a second

We're seven seconds away

Or just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

We're seven seconds away

Or just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

We're seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

We're seven seconds away

Or just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

We're seven seconds away

For just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting
