All -time- favourite hit


By Youssou N'Dour And Neneh Cherry


::7 seconds::
(with translation in English)

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 me
What's in me is to help them
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 their pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together

Chorus:
It's not a second 7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
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
There's a million voices

There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for a second

Catch the MTV on you-tube which was wonderfully produced!
The song was sang partly in French (i think) and had won a Grammy nomination in 1994.
In addition, this international hit reached the top 3 in many countries such as Germany, UK, Australia..etc
I love listening to it! Going to get VN to search this song for me and download onto my new Creative gadget.
