Shakira – Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) lyrics
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and back in the saddle
You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious we're getting closer, this isn't 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 eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
'Cause 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
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 zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

This time for Africa
This time for Africa
We are all Africa
We are all Africa
