7 Seconds (Album Version)

7 Seconds - Youssou N'Dour/Neneh Cherry

Boul ma sene boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw

Mo ne si man li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness

We should be using

On the ones who practice 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 the skin is living in

It's not a second

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

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 leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent

Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils desesperent

Je veux les deux mains ouvertes

Des amis pour parler de leur peine de leur joie

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

Changer

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

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 the 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

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

It's not a second

Seven seconds away

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

It's not a second

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting
