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
If you fall get up, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
'Cause this is Africa
[Chorus: Shakira]
Tsamina mina, eh, eh
