Shakira Waka Waka Lyrics
(FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 theme)
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle
You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over
The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it
When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...
Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa
Listen to your god
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Dont 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
Anawa aa
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
The song lyrics definitely are inspirational and motivational, serving as an excellent theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament!
The opening ceremony concert show will air tonight at 8PM EST on ABC, so you can see all of the great musical acts then for the 2-hour show. Some of the top African musicians involved in the show will be Amadou and Mariam as well as Colombian rocker Juanes. From the looks of the Shakira routine on stage it's one intense and lively show!
Shakira looks great as always and her hips don't lie as she helps South Africa get hyped for the World Cup 2010. The stage was full of color backgrounds, the South African flag and amazing dancers for a grand performance. Watch Shakira perform Waka Waka song in the YouTube video below!
