Neneh Cherry 7 Seconds Lyrics:
°Yousou N'Dour singing in his mother tongue;

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

°Neneh Cherry taking over here;

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 is 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 X3

°Youssou N'Dour again,
singing in french(translated
in english by "The
SenSeï");

-j'assume les raisons qui nous
poussent de changer tout,
I assume the resons that lead us
to change everything,

-J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur
couleur pour qu'ils esperent
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/Arer ]
I wish we could forget their
color so they can hope

-Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui
font qu'ils desesperent
lots of feelings for races
which make them lose hope
(despair)

-Je veux les deux mains ouvertes,
I want the two hands opened,

-Des amis pour parler de leur
peine, de leur joie
(and) friends to talk about
their life penalty, about
their joy

-Pour qu'ils leur filent des
infos qui ne divisent pas
so they can give'em infos that
do not divide(scatter)

-Changer
change

°Neneh Cherry as lead vocals henceforth;

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
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
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
