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: 
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 

Youssou N‘Dour: 
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 races 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 

Neneh Cherry: 
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 
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
