7 Seconds Lyrics - Singles - Youssou N'dour

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 it's living in 

It's not a second 

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 

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 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 

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 

I'll be waiting 

I'll be waiting 

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 

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 

It's not a second 

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 

It's not a second 

7 seconds away 

Just as long as I stay 

I'll be waiting
