Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Llegó el momento, caen las murallas
Va a comenzar la única justa de la batallas
No duele el golpe, no existe el miedo
Quítate el polvo, ponte de pie y vuelves al ruedo

Y la presión se siente
Espera en ti, tu gente
Ahora vamos por todo

Y te acompaña la suerte
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porque esto es África

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porque esto es África

Oye a tu Dios
Y no estarás solo
Llegas aquí para brillar
Lo tienes todo
La hora se acerca
Es el momento
Vas a ganar cada batalla
Ya lo presiento

Hay que empezar de cero
Para tocar el cielo
Ahora vamos por todo
Y todos vamos por ellos
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porque esto es África

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa a a
