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

Zaminamina, zangalewa
‘Cause this is Africa
Zaminamina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
Zaminamina, 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

Zaminamina, zangalewa
‘Cause this is Africa
Zaminamina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
Zaminamina, zangalewa
Ana wam a a

Zaminamina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
Zaminamina, zangalewa
This time for Africa.
