Shakira - Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) LYRICS

[LYRICS]

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up dust yourself off
And get back in the saddle

You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious we are getting closer
This isn't over

The pressure is on you feel it
But you got it all believe it

When you fall get up oh oh
And if you fall get up eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Listen to your God
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Don't wait in line
Y vamos por todo

People are raising
Their expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations

Today's your day I feel it
You paved the way believe it
If you get down get up oh oh
When you get down get up eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Thango eh eh
Thango eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Thango eh eh
Thango eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

This time for Africa
