What Language Is This?

I have part of the lyrics of a song, which I don't know what the language is that they were written. These lyrics are taken from a song called "Seven Seconds",
by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry. I was wondering if you could translate these into English for me.

Lyrics of Verse 1.
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane.
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw.
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw.
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale.
Lyrics of Verse 5.
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
Changer.

Verse 5 is in French, I don't have time to translate right now.

it's written by a man from sengal. check the native languages for the other verse

You don't see me from a distance
Don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know
What's under and behind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
That what's within you is in me
What's within me is to help them

I assume that the reasons that push us to change everything
I would like for us to forget about their color
So they can try to be optimistic
Too many views on race that make them desparate
Let's leave the door wide open
To friends so they can talk about their pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together.
