The original is the best!

°Yousou N'Dour singing in his mother tongue;

 

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 diapale

 

°Neneh Cherry taking over here;

 

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

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

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 X3

 

°Youssou N'Dour again, singing in french(translated in english by "The SenSeï");

 

-j'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,

I assume the reasons that lead us to change everything,

-J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent

I wish we could forget their color so they can hope

-Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils desesperent

lots of feelings for races which make them lose hope (despair)

-Je veux les deux mains ouvertes,

I want the two hands opened,

-Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

(and) friends to talk about their sorrow, about their joy

-Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

so they can give'em infos that do not divide(scatter)

-Changer

change

 

°Neneh Cherry as lead vocals henceforth;

 

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 X3

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin it´s living in

And there's a million voices

And there's a million voices

To tell you what you should be thinking

So you better sober up for just a second

We´re 7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

We´re 7 seconds away

For 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

"Neneh Cherry a gyors száju afró csaj,aki kökeményen megmondja a frankót. Ha valaki csak egy könnyű menetre vágyik az kösse fel a gatyáját mert Neneh lamezei lezuzzák a fejét." /New musical express/
