Review about 7 seconds Lailon | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/09 i hire this song 5 years ago. and i never undrestand what he or she try to say. after that, i learn english a little by spectrum books. tonight i find this song in my old cds. then i listen to this song. then i think she says ""To tell you what you should be thinking "" then write this in google then find here. i'm here now. and i find what she or he try to says me in this song... i live in iran and speak persian. Be Happy. 7 seconds | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/1/09 i loved this song from the very first time i heard it though i couldn't speak any english nor french then. After a while i came across with the translation that helped me to understend roughly the meaning. Now that i can speak some english and i understand how the whole thing works about lenguages i think that a translation isn't always enough. you also need an explanation of what some senteces might mean when the translation doesn't seem to make the right sence. Especially when we're talking about a piece of art and we also need to get what the artist is traying to communicate. don't you think? anyway, right now i'm listening to this song, drinking a nice glass of New Zealand wine and wondering if what i've just writen makes any sence. does it? Changez! Great Job | Reviewer: Good Job | 10/23/07 To the person before me, nicely done, your translation is way better and accurate than the one written in the lyrics. Congrats! I love the song, I have for the longest time. Almost... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/14/07 A perfect translation would be one done by the songwriter. I don't know how correct are your song lyrics... but here might be a better direct (if imperfect) translation than the literal (word-by-word without context) translation you have from French: (note the "to" and "from" in the first line de changer (from changing) vs. a changer (to or toward changing.) Youssou's words are quite far reaching in concept. "-J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout, I assume (take upon myself) the reasons which keep us from changing everything, -J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent I would like (it) if one forgets the (skin) color which they hope to have, -Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils desesperent Many feelings of races which make them hopeless. -Je veux les deux mains ouvertes, I want the two hands open -Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie of friends (in order) to talk about their pain, about their joy -Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas so they can draw out info which does not divide them. -Changez! change!" sad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/6/07 this song reminds me of all the poor adults & kids suffering of poverty in the poorer countries. But this is a good song Good | Reviewer: Hel | 6/3/07 Nice translation. The mother tongue youssou is singing in is wolof. It's the language spoke in senegal, gambia and mauritania La peine | Reviewer: Pitcheuse | 3/22/07 'Peine' doesn't necessarily mean 'life penalty'. It also means 'sorrow' and 'sadness'. Correction | Reviewer: Pitcheuse | 2/21/07 French - English Changer = To change Changez = Change Same pronunciation but different meanings in french. Still a perfect job. Thx.
