Neneh Cherry, Youssou N’Dour - 7 Seconds lyrics

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's 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

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
Or just as long as I stay I'll be waiting
I'll be waitingi'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!

7 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
I'll be waitingi'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 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay I'll be waiting
It's not a second we're 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second we're 7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, we're 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay I'll be waiting
It's not a second we're 7 seconds away
For just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
