1. Wavin Flag

Wavin Flag is a song sung by K'naan Warsame, popular at the 2010 world cup grand event in South Africa. This Wavin Flag song is not an official song from the World Cup soundtrack, but this song was only made for a Cocacola drink advertisement. Even this song is not popular because the ad for the drink brand but popular among football lovers. After all, it has a very addictive tone while enjoying the World Cup and a glass of warm tea. K'naan once told that he wrote the song for peace in the conflict in Somalia, which has been dragging on for a long time, and we also knew even when I was a child that Somalia is indeed famous for its armed conflicts and its horrific pirates. Until now, this song has received a lot of listeners and fans, even though it has been almost 11 years. Wavin Flag's music has been watched more than 360 million times on official YouTube.

Wavin Flag Lyrics

Ooooooh wooooooh, ooooooh wooooooh

-------------------------------------

Give me freedom, give me fire,

give me reason, take me higher

See the champions, take the field now,

you define us, make us feel proud

-------------------------------------

In the streets our heads are lifting,

as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, its around us,

every nations, all around us

-------------------------------------

Singing forever young,

singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful game,

And together at the end of the day.

We all say

-------------------------------------

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

-------------------------------------

So wave your flag,

now wave your flag,

now wave your flag

2. Waka-Waka (This Time for Africa)

Waka-Waka is a viral song worldwide, even if it's only the tune that is played by everyone including myself, I already know that the song is a Waka-Waka song sung by Shakira. Unlike the song Wavin Flag, Waka-Waka is the official soundtrack for the 2010 World Cup grand event in South Africa. Launching from the official YouTube, this video is still being watched and listened to for more than 3 billion views. Behind its popularity, this soundtrack has become a polemic among the people of South Africa because native African musicians did not sing this song, as we all know that the World Cup in South Africa is the first World Cup to be held on the African continent. Unlike Shakira, the original singer of the song Waka-Waka who came from Colombia, thanks to this song, she has met her life partner, Gerard Pique, a famous football player from the Spanish National Team. Currently, the two are still together and already have two children named Sasha Pique and Milan Pique.

Waka-Waka Lyrics

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
----------------------------------
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
----------------------------------
Zamina mina, hé hé
Waka waka, hé hé
Zamina 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
Zamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
----------------------------------
Zamina mina, hé hé
Waka waka, hé hé
Zamina mina zangalewa
Ana wam ha ha
Zamina mina, hé hé
Waka waka, hé hé
Zamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

La Cope de la Vida Lyrics

The life is pure passion

The cup of love will be full

You should fight for living

You have heart for winning

-----------------------------------------------

It's a cruel struggle like between Cain and Abel

You have to fight for the star

To reach for it with honor, the cup of life

Is for surviving and fighting for her

-----------------------------------------------

You and I! Ale ale ale

Go, go, go! Ale, ale, фду

Step up! The world is standing

Go, go, go! Ale ale ale

-----------------------------------------------

The life is the competition

You should be a champion to dream

The cup is the benediction

You'll win! Go, go, go!

-----------------------------------------------

To win the your rival is your natural instinct

You have to fight for the star

To reach for it with honor, the cup of life

Is for surviving and fighting for her
