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:
Dont see me from a distance, dont look at my smile
And think that I dont know whats under and behind me
I dont want you to look at me and think whats in you is in me
Whats 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
Battles not over even when its won
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
Ill be waiting, Ill be waiting
Jassume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
Jaimerais quon oublie leur couleur pour quils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font quils désespèrent
Je veux les deux mains ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine
De leur joie pour quils 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, Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
Ill be waiting, Ill be waiting
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
And theres a million voices
And theres 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, Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay , Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
Its not a second, seven seconds away
Just as long as stay, Ill be waiting
