Waka - Waka

Hmm, setelah diteliti lirik lagu Waka - Waka dendangan Shakira sempena World Cup 2010. Ada juga liriknya yang boleh diaplikasikan pada aktiviti berbasikal ni. Apa kata kita tukar sedikit lirik pada lagu berkenaan untuk menjadikan ianya relevan. Berikut gubahan dari lagu tersebut, lirik asal dalam tanda kurungan ( )

Waka - Waka

You’re a good rider (soldier)

Choosing your bicycle (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 hotter (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 MTB (Africa)

Tsamina mina eh, eh

Waka waka eh, eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

This time for MTB (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 MTB (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 MTB (Africa)

Notes:

The lyrics, which are in a Central African language called Fang, read like this: 

Tsa mina mina eh eh 

Waka waka eh eh 

Tsa mina mina zangalewa 

Ana wam ah ah 

Zambo eh eh 

Zambo eh eh 

Tsa mina mina zangalewa 

Wana wa ah ah

Meaning of the words in Fang language:

* Tsaminamina means Come.

* Waka waka means Do It - as in perform a task. Waka is pidgin language mean walk while working.

* Tsaminamina zangalewa means Where do you come from ?

* Wana means It's mine.

* Zambo means Wait
