6 Jun 2010

This is one of the official songs for World Cup 2010 in South Africa....

Shakira - Waka Waka

You’re a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
Get 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 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 feel it
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
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


Zangalewa Song Information

Zangalewa is part of the repertoire of soldiers, but also of youth groups like Scouts, throughout Africa. Its rhythm is catchy and it can serve as marching song.
It was popularized by the Cameroonian military band Golden Sounds in 1986. It was such a success that he changed his name Zangalewa. It is sometimes called Zamina undermined by the first words.
