Waka waka

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up, then dust yourself off, get back in the saddle
You're on the front line
Everybody's watching
You know it's serious, we're getting closer, this just ain't over

The pressure's on, you feel it
But you got it all, believe it

When you funk it up (oh oh)
If you funk it up (eh eh)
Tsamina mina ndae kalewa
'Cause this is Africa
Tsamina mina (eh eh)
Waka waka (eh eh)
Tsamina mina ndae kalewa
This time for Africa

Listen to your God
This is your motto
Your time's gonna shine, go with the light, if I must go solo
People are raising
Their expectations
Go on and feel it, this is your moment, no hesitations

Today's your day, I feel it
You paved the way, believe it

You get down, get up (oh oh)
You get down, get up (eh eh)
Tsamina mina ndae kalewa
This time for Africa
Tsamina mina (eh eh)
Waka waka (eh eh)
Tsamina mina ndae kalewa

Anawa-a-a
Tsamina mina (eh eh)
Waka waka (eh eh)
Tsamina mina ndae kalewa
This time for Africa

Awea ma jo biggi biggi biggi ma ma

From east to west

Zangezi mazi buye
'Cause this is Africa
