Here's the lyrics:

You’re a good soldier

Choosing your battles

Pick yourself up

And dust yourself off

Get 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

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Cause this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh, eh

Waka waka eh, eh

Tsamina 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 feel it

This is your moment

No hesitation

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

Tsamina mina zangalewa

This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh, eh

Waka waka eh, eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh, eh

Waka waka eh, eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

This time for Africa
