Lyric:
7 Seconds
Neneh Cherry dan Youssou N'Dour ‧ 1994
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
[ Don't see me, don't see me, you're killing me.
I don't know what's going on underneath and behind me.
I don't want to think oaldine you what's in you.
If he was a man, he would have his clothes ]
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 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 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 peine, et de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur aient des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changez!
[ I accept the reasons that push us to change everything.
I would like us to forget their color so that they can hope.
Many racial feelings that make them despair.
I want both hands open.
Friends to talk to about their pain, and their joy.
So that they can give them information that doesn't divide.
Change! ]
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 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
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
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
