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
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Cause 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 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
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh, eh
Waka waka eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa ah, ah

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

Cause this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh, eh
Waka waka eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa ah, ah

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

Yango eh, eh
Yango eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa ah, ah

Yango eh, eh
Yango eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa ah, ah

This time for Africa
This time for Africa

We’re all Africa
We’re all Africa
