Waka waka performed by Shakira during FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony

One of the highlights during the Opening Ceremony of FIFA World Cup 2010 was the Kick-off concert performs by various prestigious artist like Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys and other known artists.

In every FIFA World Cup there are official ball match, mascot and of course official song. FIFA World Cup 2010's Official Song this year is entitled Waka waka (Time for Africa) and presented by Shakira and the band Freshlyground.The song is so lively and I like how Shakira delivers the song during the Kick-off concert.

I will surely watch this song perform during the final FIFA World Cup 2010 on July 11.



Waka Waka 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 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
Anawa aa
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
Anawa aa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
