Waka Waka Song

I love this song. Waka Waka. It makes me wanna dance each time I listen to it and I am proud that Shakira did do this song justice, revamped it, made it a world hit and did not westernize it at all. The song is definately inspirational... this is indeed the time for Africa! I love the fact that in this song, one gets a taste of the African melodies with the Shakira twist!

Enjoy!

Oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh

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 are getting closer
This isn't over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up, oh oh
If you fall get up, eh eh
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
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 a a
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

And when I searched for the Waka Waka lyrics, I found the original version of Waka Waka song..Do you know that this song is originally sung by a makossa group from Cameroon called Golden Sounds?? Well I don't! This group were beloved throughout the continent for their silly dances and costumes.

Here's the original version of Waka Waka Song...

I personally like Waka Waka Song from Shakira better! She's hot and she totally knows how to shake her bootylicious!!!!=p
