Neneh Cherry & Youssou N'Dour Seven Second Lyrics

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
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 (3x)

J'a__ume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les portes grandement 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
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
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
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

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in

And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices

To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second

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
It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
