Youssou N'Dour - Seven Seconds 2015

Released 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

Roughneck and rudeness
we should be using
on the ones who practice wicked charms
for the word and the stone
bad to the bone
battle's 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
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 race qui font
qu'ils desesperent je veux les donnes moi ouvertes
des amis pour parler de leur peine de leur jour 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
we're seven seconds away
just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

(Instrumental)

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
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 (5x)
