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