Lyrics

Waka Waka - This Time for Africa

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 isn't over

The pressures 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
Zngalewa
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 aa

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

(other performers)

Tsamina mina eh eh

Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa

This time for Africa...

 
p.s. I'd normally write up each song's lyrics on my own but, this time I'm not exactly sure what she's saying ;) So, I've borrowed some lyrics from this music and lyrics site then tweeked it (the very, very last part that's in African, I couldn't quite get). 
 
Please feel free to comment or if you'd like to cipher and pass along that would be awesome, thanks for visiting!
