The lyrics to Werrason's song Waka-Waka are primarily focused on celebration and having a good time. The opening lines seem to ask if there are any beautiful women and handsome men present, encouraging them to join in the festivities. The verses talk about a lover who promised to marry the singer but ultimately abandoned them, causing heartbreak. However, the chorus shifts back to the upbeat tone, repeating "Chérie na nga" (my darling) and "Waka-Waka" (a dance move) while encouraging everyone to come and dance.
Throughout the song, there are references to various people and places, including Jean Marie Kassamba, Claudy Siar, George Weah, and Congo. The list of names and locations helps to create a sense of community and togetherness while also highlighting the diversity of the people present. The repeated use of phrases like "santikisa" and "santikis'éh" emphasize the joy and excitement of the party, encouraging everyone to dance and celebrate together.
Overall, the lyrics to Waka-Waka are a fun and catchy tribute to the joy of being together with friends and loved ones, even in the face of heartbreak and disappointment.
