This is the french translation so mop 32 was pretty close-j'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
I assume the resons that lead us to change everything,
-J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
I wish we could forget their color so they can hope
-Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils desesperent
lots of feelings for races which make them lose hope (despair)
-Je veux les deux mains ouvertes,
I want the two hands opened,
-Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
(and) friends to talk about their life penalty, about their joy
-Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
so they can give'em infos that do not divide(scatter)
-Changer
change
This so poetic and dramatic and i also think the 7 seconds is about a child's life being lost but i don't know for certain. Loved this song at live 8 when Yossou N'dour did it with Dido, it is truly amazing live!
