7 Seconds Songtext

von Youssou N'Dour

Bul ma seen
Bul ma djiss madire
Ngafook ni mann
Xamuma
Li nee ka thi sa ma suul
Akthi gui naw
Baguma
Ku ma xool daal di ne yaaw
Li neeka thi yaaw
Mo neek thi man
Li neek thi man mooy
Di len japale

Nothing can move us,
We should be moving
From the ones who practise wicked charms.
For the son and the stone,
The 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.
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'aimerai qu'on oublie leur couleur,
Pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent.
(Je veux les grandement ouvertes, des amis pour parler de leurs peines, ou de leurs joies. Pour qu'on leur file des infos qui ne devisent pas) changer.

Chorus:
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.

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.

Chorus:
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.
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.
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.....
