The song is trilingual: N'Dour sings Wolof, the Senegalese language, and French (plus singing chorus in English), Cherry sings English
"7 Seconds" is about the first positive 7 seconds in the life of a child just born not knowing about the problems and violence in our world.From Wikipedia.
This was on a CD I bought in Morocco and it reminds of the amazing time I had there. I miss it so much, the ambiance and everything. One day I will go back and cherish these memories
I have heard several versions of this song - this version with Neneh Cherry is (in my opinion) the best, great instrumental, great voices, great video - just amazing.
when i listen to this music i feel that i am so sad and i want to cry feeling that i don't belong to this time and i want to go back to my home i d would like to stop the time on this era but the thing give me comfort that i am not alone
@anniinanko Well I can understand that. I only got to know it a few weeks ago, it's the theme song on my channel, I play it all the time and I haven't grown tired of hearing it. It's the PERFECT song - totally addictive. Ciao.
Denne sangen betyr noe helt spesielt for meg! Det er sangen til meg og min mann! Vi har vært sammen i15 flotte år!!! Det var den første sangen vi hørte sammen,så den kommer vi aldri til å glemme!!!
I made my first daughter to this song. Two of the best things in my life combined! Beutiful music and the most beautiful person in my little insignificant life.
