1a canzone al giorno

Ecco finalmente la terza canzone del trittico ascoltato ormai diversi giorni fa alla radio. E' del 1994 e a cantarla è Youssou N'Dour qui con Neneh Cherry. Si intitola "7 seconds" e quell'anno ebbe un notevole successo. Quando l'ho riascoltata era un bel pezzo che non la sentivo e, come per le altre due, ho subito deciso di postarla alla prima occasione. Youssou in quel periodo ebbe una notevole esposizione mediatica legata anche a progetti di solidarietà con l'Africa. Recentemente ha partecipato a Sanremo se non sbaglio con Pupo e Paolo Belli.... E qui chiudo.... Buon martedì e a domani!

7 seconds (Youssou N'Dour feat Neneh Cherry)

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 
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 
I'll be waiting 
I'll be waiting 

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout, 
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent 
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent 
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes, 
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie 
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas 
Changer 

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 
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 

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 
It's not a second 
7 seconds away 
Just as long as I stay 
I'll be waiting
