7 Seconds Youssou N'Dour (Ft. Neneh Cherry)

[Verse 1: Youssou N'Dour]
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol dal diné yaw li neka si yaw
Mo ne si mane, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

[Verse 2: Neneh Cherry]
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 is not over, even when it's won
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone of skin it's living in

[Chorus: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
It's not a second
We're seven seconds away
Or just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
We're seven seconds away
Or just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

[Post-Chorus: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
