Llegó el momento, caen las murallas
Va a comenzar a la única justa de las batallas
No duele el golpe, no existe el miedo
Quitate 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
Porqué esto es África
Tsamina mina eh, eh
Waka waka eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África
Oye a tu dios y no estarás solo
Llegaste aquí para brillar y lo tienes todo
La hora se acerca, es el momento
Vas a ganar a 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
Porqué esto es África
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa, ah ah
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África
Ame la mejole biggi biggi mubbo wa A to Zet
Asi tsu zala makyuni biggi biggi mubbo 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 zangalewa
Anawa, ah ah
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa, ah ah
Porqué esto es África
