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'un dublie
leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beacoup de sentiments de race
qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandement 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 try to be optimistic}
{Too many views on race that make them desparate}
{Let's leave the door 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
