7 Seconds

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka thi sama suuf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol daldine yaw li neka si yaw

Mo ne si man li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

TRANSLATION:

Don't see me from a distance, don't look at my smile

And think that I don't know what's under and behind me

I don't want you to look at me and think what's in you is in me

What's in me is to help them

Roughness and rudeness, we should be using

On the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone

Battle's 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, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting, 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 deux mains ouvertes

Des amis pour parler de leur peine

De leur joie pour qu'ils leur filent

Des infos qui ne divisent pas changer

TRANSLATION:

I assume the reasons that push us to change everything

I would like us to forget about their color so they can be optimistic

Too many views on race that make them desparate

I want the doors wide open

So they can talk about their pain

And joy, then we can give them

Information that will bring us all together

Seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as 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

Seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
