Waka waka (this time for Africa)

(testo e musica Shakira, John Hill)

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’s 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

R. 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 hesitation

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

R. Tsamina mina eh eh, waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, anawa a a

R. Tsamina mina eh eh, waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, this time for Africa

Awela majoni biggie biggie mama, one a to zet
Athi susa lamajoni biggie biggie mama from east to west
Bathi waka waka ma eh eh! Waka waka ma eh eh!
Zonk’ izizwe mazibuye… Cause this is Africa!

Tsamina, anawa a a, tsamina mina
Tsamina mina, anawa a a

R. Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, anawa a a

R. Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, this time for Africa

Django eh eh, django eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, anawa a a
Django eh eh, django eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa, anawa a a

This time for Africa
This time for Africa

We’re all Africa
We’re all Africa
