song of the day : Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry - Seven Seconds




The song is multi-national: the Senegalese N'Dour and the Swedish Cherry, sing the song in WolofEnglish and French.

"7 Seconds" is about the first positive 7 seconds in the life of a child just born not knowing about the problems and violence in our world.

—Neneh Cherry, Biography on official Web site



Videoclipul de la aceasta melodie il tin minte de pe cand eram in clasa a III-a.
 
Se poate intampla sa mai dureze cam aproximativ 7-8 secunde pana porneste dupa ce se apasa play.



Lyrics for Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry - 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


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


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 (x3)


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


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 (x3)

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of the skin he'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


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 (x3)
