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
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, we´re
{Refrain:}
Seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I´ll be waiting
It´s not a second
We´re seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I´ll be waiting {x3}
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 des gamins ouverts,
Des amis pour parler de leurs peines, de leur joies
Pour qu´ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer!
{au Refrain}
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 {x2}
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second
{au Refrain, x2}
