Youssou n'dour ft. dido

Seven Seconds

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

Nothing can move us, we should be moving
From the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone
Bad to the bone
Man is not evil, even when it's born
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in

(coro) x2
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
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
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting(x3)

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
There's a million voices
There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thionking
So you better sober up for a second

Chorus 8x
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
