You’re a good soldier, choosing your battles (challenge yourself)
Pick yourself up and dust yourself up get back in the saddle (If you fail, get up and try again)
Your on the frontline, everyone’s watching (Don’t screw up)
You know it’s serious were getting closer this isn’t over (you can still win this)
The pressure’s on, you feel it (Now you really don’t want to mess up)
But you’ve got us all, believing (If they don’t lose hope, then you shouldn’t either)
So when you fall get up oh oh, and if you fall get up eh eh (if don’t succeed keep trying, and when you don’t try harder)
Tsamina mina zangalewa, cuz this is Africa (Where do you come from, because this is Africa)
Tsamina mina eh eh (Come)
Waka Waka eh eh (Come and play)
Tsamina mina zangalewa (Where do you come from)
This time for Africa (It’s their turn)
Listen to your God (Ask for advice)
This is our motto (This is what we are telling you to do)
Your time to shine, don’t wait in line (Don’t let anybody get in your way)
Y vamos por todo (We all want this)
People are raising, their expectations (people believe in you)
Go ahead and feed ‘em this is your moment no hesitation (Go do what you were meant to do)
Today is your day, I feel it (This is your chance)]
You paved the way, believe it (You made all of this possible for yourself)
If you get down get up oh, oh and when you get down get up eh, eh (When you get down, get right back up and when you fall get up again)
Tsamina mina zangalewa, cuz this is Africa (Where do you come from, because this is Africa)
Tsamina mina eh eh (Come)
Waka Waka eh eh (Come and play)
Tsamina mina zangalewa (Where do you come from)
This time for Africa (It’s their turn)
What an interesting song. I like your interpretation of the lyrics; they make total sense to me. Well done!
