Hi guys, nice to meet you again. This week I'm sure we're all doing well, even though there are many problems we have to face because it's part of life. This time the theme of the Hive open mic is very challenging, which is "Afritunes". Actually it's a bit difficult to decide which song I will choose, but my choice fell on one of the phenomenal songs that I'm sure everyone in the world knows, which is one of Shakira's works, although this song has been sung by several members, allow me to sing this song too.
To join this week's competition, I chose a song titled "Waka Waka" sung by Shakira. This song has lyrics that really trigger body movements in every listener, the lyrics of this song are very challenging, and also at that time it was indeed intended for football players who participated in the world cup competition when this song went viral.
Lyrics of the song
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
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
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
[Chorus: Shakira]
Zamina-mina, hé-hé
Waka, waka, hé-hé
Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
This time for Africa
[Verse 2: Shakira]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
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
[Chorus: Shakira]
Zamina-mina, hé-hé
Waka, waka, hé-hé
Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
Anawa, ha-ha
Zamina-mina, hé-hé
Waka, waka, hé-hé
Zamina-mina, zangalewa?
This time for Africa
