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, ah, ah
Tsamina mina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
Abuyel'amajoni biggie biggie mamma one A to Z
Bathi susa lamajoni biggie biggie mamma from East to West
Bathi, waka waka ma, eh eh
Waka waka ma, eh eh
Zonk'izizwe mazibuye
'Cause this is Africa!
Tsamina mina
Anawa, ah, ah
Tsamina mina
Tsamina mina
Anawa, ah, ah
Tsamina mina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa, ah, ah
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, ah, ah

Django, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa, ah, ah
This time for Africa
