this song is just so true, it's an eternal song for ever. Cette chanson est tout simplement si vraie, une chanson qui vivra à tout jamais. una cancion que refleja la verdadera cara de la humanidad.
The video is zero artistic level (any teenager can imagine to make a close shot of the singers - it's so useful when you must make not shock nobody) - but the song is anyway beautiful :)
@Eliskoopa No one who makes music is sincere.There is hardly any good talent left when it comes to song writing. They have all prostituted their selves for the green.
Hey, I need your help: I am searching for senegalese-french material. Music, Litterature or whatever, it just me be typical french from Senegal (and clear to understand). If you know any kind of material, please inform me! C'est pour une recherche linguistique.
n étant pas fan de youssou n'dour ni de neneh cherry je nai donc pas de préjujés a donner mais je tien quand meme a souligner la grande recherche de sentiments et de volonté de vivre qui sont exprimé dans cette chanson je le trouve purement et simplement superbe comme de qoui l'être human est capable d'accomplir des choses plus belles que la destruction merci pour cette chanson
I'm not sure if its just me but i keep hearing them saying "we're seven seconds away, but just as long as i stay" while the lyrics everywhere takes out the we're and but.
@PunisherSNS Yeah i know it is a great song!! but most of the people that like it are older and their grandkids dont explain to them how to use youtube.. so they listen to this song on VH1 when ever it is on..
el "tipo" como tu lo llamas tiene premios por amnistia internacional y por esta canción además tiene una trayectoria ENORME para ayudar a los que sufren hambre y enfermedad
Cada vez que escucho esta cancion automaticamente me transporta al caribe a una pequeña y hermosa isla, la cual fue nuestra por esa noche... una noche de luna llena..
i love the africain language is beautiful, when i hear i always feel it's a gorilla (Giant) who sings with the tam-tam behind me yes i am a little afraid LOL
African countries usually speak their own dialects (that are somehow different from nation to nation) and a second language based on their historical colonialism (as french, english and ,i'm not sure, nether). I think that pronunciation is slightly different (like England and.. ehm, USA for example).
Ciao from Italy (not the same language as french or senegalese.. ;P)
Yes, it's an African dialect on the beginning of the song (to my seems similar to arabian language, not french..). The french part is great for me and full of words that make me think about the meaning of the song (as the others parts of this great epic song!).
Great song, which isn't living from comments. It's telling an own story, talking about old well known themes, but doesn't start to get boring. I wish there would be more songs like this one.
