Shakira - Waka Waka (Esto es Africa) (www.musica.com)
Llegó el momento, caen las murallas (walls)
Va a comenzar la única justa de las batallas
No duele el golpe, no existe el miedo
Quítate el polvo, ponte de pie y vuelves al ruedo (arena)

Y la presión se siente, espera en ti tu gente
Ahora vamos por todo y te compaña la suerte
Tsamina mina zangaléwa, porque esto es África

Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, 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 (pre-sentir= I sense)

Hay que empezar de cero para tocar el cielo
Ahora vamos por todo y todos vamos por ello
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, porque esto es África

Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, anawa ah ah
Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, porque esto es África

(Awela majoni biggie biggie mamma, one A to zet
Athi sithi lamajoni biggie biggie mama from east to west
Bathi, waka waka ma, eh eh, waka waka ma, eh eh
Zonke zizwe mazi buye, 'cause this is Africa)

(Tsamina mina, anawa ah ah
Tsamina mina
Tsamina mina, anawa ah ah)

Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, anawa ah ah
Tsamina mina, eh eh, waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, porque esto es África

Django eh eh, django eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, anawa ah ah
Django eh eh, django eh eh
Tsamina mina, zangaléwa, anawa ah ah
Porque esto es África, porque esto es África

“Waka Waka (This is Africa)” combines afro-colombian rhythms and instrumentation with the soca (a music genre from Trinidad and Tobago derived from the calypso) and South African guitars. The chorus is based on a chant from Cameroon called “Zangalewa” that, in the past, was sung by soldiers, though it was also used by various youth groups all around Africa, such as the scouts. In fact, because it is so popular, the song is often sung without knowing its meaning. However, here is what the lyrics of the chorus mean in English:
