Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) 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 isn't 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
Because 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
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
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
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isn't over
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...
Zangalewa
Because this is Africa
Waka Waka eh eh
Anawa aa
This time for Africa
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Don't wait in line
Y vamos por Todo
Their Expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it
Get up, oh oh...
When you get down
Get up, eh eh...
Anawa aa
This time for Africa
Waka Waka eh eh
Anawa aa
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

This is a really upbeat song glad there is no Vuvuzela's used as an instrument :). Waka waka Tsamina mina zangalewa What language is that?
"Y vamos por Todo" means we are everthing,in spanish
This song is about believing in yourself and if you fall you get up and dust your self off and try again. DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN !!!!!
Y vamos por todo means and we go for everything or let's go for everything, not we are everything, we are everything would be somos todo.

Also, it's worth noting the meaning of the chorus: Waka waka = Do it [the work, the job]! Tsamina mina zangalewa = Where do you come from?

"Listen to your god Shakira Waka Waka lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com.com/shakira-waka-waka-lyrics.html This is our motto Your time to shine Dont wait in line Y vamos por Todo"
She really pours her heart out on this verse. I sense a "Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" situation with that web address in there!
