Sete

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 is living in

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 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

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

7 Seconds, de Jonny Dollar e Booga Bear
Hoje é o dia sete do mês sete do ano sete. Essa música, interpretada em uolof, francês e inglês por Youssou N'Dour e Neneh Cherry é contra o racismo. Fala dos sete segundos que uma criança tem desde seu nascimento até ter consciência da cor da sua pele.
