Youssou N'Dour - 7 Seconds ft. Neneh Cherry 

A friend from Africa told me about this song. It should be re-released on the radio in America. The lyrics contain so much implicit and subliminal meaning to me.

Yes

Suuuure!!!! 🤗💗

Thank you. Beautiful words and beautiful language! Greetings from Mexico.

Modou Sanyang thank you for translating.

Nice to know! I work with 2 Gambian men here in Finland! They're so funny and good men. Without them my wrok would be boring

Thank you Modou, He used also French in this song between 1.44 and 2.08 : 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 Very beautiful song, very difficult to translate in English ... And in Wollof, I heard about it today Thanks one more time Modou, and happy to speak with all the world so easily The peace could arrive by this way only !!!

Beautiful song I used to listen to this in Africa when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Gabon. 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 I assume why we push to change everything I want to forget skin color for hope's sake But too many strong feelings about race crush hope I want to see the doors flung wide open between friends to talk openly about all of their pains and joys to let flow all information that (unites) won't divide us The last line is very interesting. "let flow info that doesn't divide us" meaning "if we care enough to talk about our problems they won't be problems". The more we discourse the more we realize we are the same "au coeur". This is so true. The story of humanity is so sad, but it doesn't have to be this bad. I feel my country is no longer deserving to lead the world as Trump supporters in America want to stop all serious discussions of race and actually strongly encourage anti-PC culture in order to "let flow the info that (divides us) won't unite us" .

И тебе приветик добрая Ксения!!!

Ups Israel 30 years

Просто, согласись, трек шикарный, я заебался танцевать

Полностью согласен. 80-е,90-е и начало 00-х это просто что-то нереальное было в музыке. А сегодня я уже забываю вчерашних исполнителей которые были популярны максимум полгода. А этой песне около 30 лет. И в детстве я её обожал. В 1996 году я пошёл в первый класс, и я эту музыку слушал тогда. Боже какое же прекрасное время мы оказывается жили. Люди были простыми в отношениях, никто ничего не требовал. Люди были людьми. А сегодня нас КАПИТАЛИЗМ РАЗРУШИЛ ИЗНУТРИ.

Топ песня, на кассете перемотывал

​@@user-ie4yy3hq6uЭта прекрасная музыка пришла из капитализма, мозг..

@@user-zk4ch9kj8e про расовые предрассудки

@@user-zk4ch9kj8e Здравствуйте Александр. Вкратце - текст поднимает одновременно проблемы расизма и тот факт, что человек, только родившийся на свет, ещё не успевает, по понятным причинам, понять кто он такой и в чём его предназначение. Человек не выбирает, с каким цветом кожи рождаться, а потому очень легко клеймить его за это. В общим словах такой посыл. Песня звучит очень душевно и красиво, но её смысл вызывает грусть и сочувствие.

согласен)

Согласна,одна из лучших композиций современности😁

So sorry you went through that. Hope you feelin better now?

I am happy that you are better now. 🙂

So glad you got through the trauma x

I remember I had my radio by my window as a kid I’d hear this always ….so much nostalgia

Dude babies are born crying what are u talking about? The moment they are born they are in pain. They're crying their ass out and then get smacked on the ass. That's everyone's start in life. I don't know maybe its like symbolic that we all will suffer in life. And giving birth to a person is very painful in itself. Life is pain. If anyone told you anything else, they are trying to sell u something. We are trying to stay alive but the universe wants us dead anyway. That's why we die. It's the fate and destiny of all living beings. Pain exists because death exists. If we were not to die what would even bother us? ...idk what else to type lol

Jesus only 7 seconds? That ain’t long. Babies pick up on feelings from the mother and noises during pregnancy too, which can affect them after birth I believe. Edit :Ok I misread this slightly, meaning maybe the first positive 7 seconds do not come straight away. Interesting nonetheless

@@Danny__D LOL! You're funny.

Skin colour definitely is not the single most defining quality of a person. The only ones who perpetuate this idea are bigots, and misguided ideologues pretending to "correct" wrongdoing. The more we treat each other decently and judge based on character, the less relevant skin colour becomes other than a description and background.

I understand where you’re coming from. I used to think the goal was to be colorblind, but I’ve come to realize that I don’t think that’s the way I should think. One of things that makes our species so wonderful is the diversity of race and culture we have, especially where I live in the USA. I personally think the world and life in general would be very bland if everyone was the same. I now believe that it all starts with respect, love, and fairness toward one another as human beings. If we could achieve that, all injustice could be wiped out and the only thing left to do would be to enjoy and celebrate our diversity as the positive benefit that it is to our global community. I know it sounds idealistic and maybe even naive to some, but we must have goals to work towards. With few exceptions, our species has improved in almost every area with each passing decade and century. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think that we will heal ourselves and create a world where justice is the norm and where injustice is a relatively rare and intolerable aberration against society as well as individuals. I think we are definitely moving in that direction.

There is a strong demonic influence in this world for such an undercurrent of hate to exist. Sometimes a spiritual person much retreat to their spiritual paradise to get a break from the onslaught of negativity...

Sadly even in 97 people were being treated badly because of the color of their skin. It is just that now the bigots are more loud/proud and much more blatant. We should celebrate and appreciate each other no matter the skin color. Don't have to be blind to one's skin color, just have to not judge someone because of it.

Thank YOU!
