Youssou N'dour - Seven Seconds lyrics

rate me

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

CHORUS

It's not a second

severalseconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting (x3)

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 race qui font qu'ils desesperent

Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,

Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

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

Changer

CHORUS

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of the skin he's 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

CHORUS
