Ohh-ehh

[Verse 1: Shakira]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]

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

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

'Cause this is Africa

[Chorus: Shakira]

Zamina-mina, hé-hé

Waka, waka, hé-hé

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

This time for Africa

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Shakira]

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 'em, this is your moment, no hesitations

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]

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

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

This time for Africa

[Chorus: Shakira]

Zamina-mina, hé-hé

Waka, waka, hé-hé

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

Anawa, ha-ha

Zamina-mina, hé-hé

Waka, waka, hé-hé

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

This time for Africa

[Verse 3: Zolani]

Awabuye lamajoni ipikipiki mama wa A to Z

Bathi susa lamajoni ipikipiki mama from East to West

Bathi waka-waka, mah, hé-hé, waka-waka, mah, hé-hé

Zonk' izizwe mazibuye, 'cause this is Africa

[Bridge]
