Retomamos la rama multicultural con esta canción (Man, 1996) interpretada por un senegalés (Youssou N’Dour) y una sueca con raíces africanas (Neneh Cherry). Todo un canto contra el racismo con frases como éstas:
Y cuando un niño nace en éste mundo
No tiene ningún concepto
Del tono de la piel en la que está viviendo
Con esta melodía descubrí a Neneh Cherry y posteriormente a su hermano Eagle-Eye Cherry (del que también caerán recomendaciones). Hay que ver la de cosas que podemos hacer en siete segundos… Un, dos, tres, respondan otra vez 😉
Letra:
Boul ma sene
Boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi samasouf ak thi guinaw
Begouma kouma khol
Daldine yaw li neka si yaw mo ne si man
Li ne si mane moye dilene diapaleRoughneck and rudeness
We should be using
On the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle’s 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 inIt’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 waitingJ’assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J’aimerais qu’on oublie leur couleur pour qu’ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu’ils désespèrent
Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
pour qu’ils leur filent des infos
qui ne divisent pas changer7 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 waitingAnd 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 you should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second7 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
