World Cup happens only once every four years! Last time when it happened, some of you were still in kindergarten; next time when it happens again, you'll be hitting your teenage years! There's also a theme song when such world-class event happens. This year, the song is called This time for Africa (or Esto es Africa, the Spanish version). The song features Shakira and a Soutch African band called Freshlyground.
The video version I share here is a child-friendly one about an animal World Cup! (Please visit the youtube page for the Time for Africa Official Video) Let's get moving with the song!

THIS TIME FOR AFRICA - SHAKIRA + FRESHLYGROUND
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
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Cause 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, 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 Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa ah ah
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
