Waka Waka... This time for Shakira.

As this is the time of world cup 2010, most of us will be in front of Tv to see the play.
The Fifa 2010 theme song, Waka Waka has catchee the minds of the football lovers.
By that song, the singer Shakira became famous in the media. I think, 'Waka waka' is the word most googled in the internet.

Lets know some about that singer shakira.

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll known professionally as Shakira is a Colombian singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, and philanthropist who emerged as a musical prodigy  in the music scene of Latin America in the early 1990s.

Lets go through its lyrics also......

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 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 oh...

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
Dont 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
Anawa aa
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
