this time for africa

so, i haven't posted in a while - but i figure, it's a new year. so my first blog of this year (let's pretend it's not already 1/6 into the year...) are simply lyrics.
although this song was written for the FIFA world cup, (and trust me, i do not follow sport), i think that the lyrics are really important.
this is the one song i can listen to and dance around my bedroom without a care, just like i used to do when i was younger. and why? yes, maybe i have a specific event and certain people and a place linked with this song, but isn't that what makes these songs so special?
so here it is;

you're a good soldier, choosing your battles
pick yourself up and dust yourself off:
get back in the saddle

you're on the frontline, everyone's watching
you know it's serious, we're getting closer:
this isn't over

the pressure is on, you feel it
but you've got it all, believe it

when you fall get up, oh, oh,
and if you fall get up, eh, eh
tsamina mina zangalewa
cuz 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 feed them, 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,
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
