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, 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 feed them, 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
And you get down, get up, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
