esta cancion fue escrita por el cantante senegales Youssou N'Dour en 1994 siendo un gran hit en ese año, la cancion habla sobre los primeros 7 segundos de la vida de un bebe, ya que por esos primeros 7 segundos el bebe no sabe nada malo, no mira nada malo, no discrimina, es un alma pura y pacifica, sin deseos de hacerle mal alguno a alguien.

esta cancion ahora es interpretada en conjunto con la cantante britanica Dido, y hoy mas que nunca esta cancion es tomada como un himno para lograr la paz mundial.



letra....

(cantada en wolof, idioma nativo de senegal)

Don't see me from a distance
Don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know
What's under and beheind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
What's in you is me
What's in me is to help them

(ingles)

Nothing can move us, we should be moving
From the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone
Bad to the bone
Man is not evil, even when it's born
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in

Chorus 2x
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

(frances)

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 rave that make them desperate
Let's leave the doors wide open
So they can talk about theit pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

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

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
There's a million voices
There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thionking
So you better sober up for a second

Chorus 8x
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
