verse 1
(Youssou)
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 diapałe
(Neneh)
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
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 diapałe
(Neneh)
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
pre-chorus
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
chorus
(Neneh & Youssou)
It's not a second, but 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
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, but 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
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
verse 2
(Youssou)
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 gamins ouverts
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer

(Neneh & Youssou)
7 seconds away, just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, 7 seconds away

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
(Youssou) Million voices
(Neneh) And there's a
(Youssou) Million voices
(Neneh) To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second
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
