With our interesting theme, second language, at first, I thought I would sing a song in my dialect, but I couldn't lay my hands on the instrumentals and almost gave up participating for the week and i really didn't want to miss out, so it made me fel bad to think of giving up.

I was doing my house chores this morning while hubby just played an old song list from his phone through the sound system that filled the entire sitting room, relaxing my mood further, then WAKA WAKA by Shakira came up, before I knew it, I was already grooving, then I realized, this is a song I have liked for as long as it existed, I think it was released in the year 2010 when South Africa hosted the FIFA world cup, but with this song, it felt like the whole African continent hosted it, i remember also feeling every emotions during the World cup just with this song, even though I wasn't keen to watching football.
X Submission

There is no way you can listen to this song without moving your body, I like to call it a Unity song, with the way it brought the world together, and it is also filled with encouraging lyrics, urging us to fight for our goals and not give up.

I hope you enjoy listening to my cover of this song.

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

[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

Shakira really touched the world with that song in the FIFA World cup held in South Africa in 2010. I remembered how I sang it wrongly especially the parts that isn't my native language... You tried with the lyrics.....

Yea, she did, I guess we were all guilty then 😅

Thank you

Lol. Difference in language....

Awesome job shakira!

Hehe thank you
