Waka Waka သီခ်ငး္စာသား


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 isnt 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
Oh oh…
Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
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
Dont 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

Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa

Original Composer Of Waka Waka

Waka Waka Its Time for Africa may be made popular by Shakira and Freshlyground but the song is a cover of the original released in 1986. The original song is titled "Tsamina" or "Zangaléwa" by a Cameroon group called Golden Sounds.

The original song is still popular as a marching song or song of victory. Most of the Golden Sounds Band members themselves being former soldiers, produced the original song as a tribute to African soldiers who fought in the Second World War. Shakira's Waka Waka is also a song of victory and a tribute to both the African continent and to footballers participating in the tournament.

The relevance of Waka Waka to football is that the game is often synonymous with doing battle.This historic 19th FIFA World Cup is also a victory for the African Continent since it is the first time in the histroy of the tournament that the games are held on African soil, hence the words "This time for Africa". Waka Waka is available in two languages, English and Spanish.

What Does Waka Waka Mean?

Waka Waka are words in the Cameroon language called Fang. It translates to Do it/Get the task done in English.Below is a translation of the rest of the song from Fang to English.The translation is not a literal one. Especially since the Golden Sounds Band were mocking the army general with this song hence the lyrics, Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh or Come, Wait, Do the job in English.
