    You're a good soldier, choosing your battles
    Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and back in the saddle
    You're on the front line, everyone's watching
    You know it's serious, we're getting closer, this isn't over

    The pressure's on, you feel it
    But you got it all, believe it
    When you fall, get up, oh-oh
    And if you fall, get up, eh-eh
    Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
    'Cause this is Africa

    Zamina-mina, eh-eh
    Waka-waka, eh-eh
    Zamina-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 'em, this is your moment, no hesitations

    Today's your day, I feel it
    You paved the way, believe it
    If you get down, get up, oh-oh
    When you get down, get up, eh-eh
    Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
    This time for Africa

    Zamina-mina, eh-eh
    Waka-waka, eh-eh
    Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
    Anawa, ah-ah
    Zamina-mina, eh-eh
    Waka-waka, eh-eh
    Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
    This time for Africa

    Awabuye lamajoni ipikipiki mama, one, A to Z
    Bathi susa lamajoni ipikipiki mama from East to West
    Bathi waka-waka, mah, eh-eh, waka-waka, mah, eh-eh
