7 Seconds Lyrics

[Youssou]:

Boul ma sene,
boul ma guiss madire
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.

[Neneh]:

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 it's living in It's not a second

[Youssou & Neneh]:

7 seconds 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)
[Youssou]:

J'a**ume 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.

[Youssou & Neneh]:

7 seconds 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)
[Neneh]:

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

[Youssou & Neneh]:

7 seconds 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
