  • Youssou sings at least in Wolof (his mother language), french, englisch

  • this song is awesome!

  • can someone translate the non english text :) thank you

  • this song was dedicated to the children living with poor quality life in africa god bless

  • Such a sad song. We can't let our own hate get the better of us, we're all the same.

    'When a child is born into this world, it has no concept, of the tone of skin it's living in' A powerful and chilling lyric.

  • nice song

  • deep enough my friend holy nice song

    from greece

  • Too deep.

  • "Hol mal die Smarties her!"

  • I soooo remember this song, I loved it.

  • One of the best songs ever. Although I don't understand the N'Dour's lyrics, the other gal is great.

  • ma mum mentioned dis was number one in france for like 4 months!

  • Love this song reminds me of back in the days 

  • Dont understand the words in some parts BUT THIS IS A GREAT SONG

  • 0:28 voor de mensen die nederlands spreken: hij zingt, kut koeman , koeman gooit alle dingen om xp

  • What is this even about? I don't understand the French parts.

  • It's about: "the first positive 7 seconds in the life of a child just born, not knowing about the problems and violence in our world" (NC)

    Rough translation of French:

    "I assume the reasons that lead us to change everything. I wish we could forget their colour so they can hope. [There are] many feelings for races which make them lose hope. I want the two hands opened, for friends to talk about their sorrow, about their joy, so they can give them details that do not divide"

  • I fell in love to this song whenever I here it it makes feel good and we could all do with bit more of that in this world today. And we it has a point in a world where the ruling people are all white and privalidged when a child still dies in Africa every 7 seconds funny how things dont change.

  • How many languages is this song sung in? Oh yeah. Remember it was barred from radio air play as it was just gibberish!!!!

  • What country would bar a song because it sounds like 'gibberish'?? I'd hate to be in a place that wasn't subjective. I think it sounds gorgeous, but I took the time to get to know it. :)

  • Three languages: Wolof (a language of Youssou N'Dour's native Senegal), English and French
