Waka waka

I really do not care for football or sports at all. I mean instead of making the whole world watch some sweaty guys running after and fighting for a ball we could just buy 22 balls and give them one each? XP
I mean no offense.

But then again I am pro everything that unites the world in some way. Come World Cup, come Olympic Games, come Eurovision Song Contest.

And I must admit that I like the soundtrack of this year's world cup. Especially this one song that I absolutely LOVE. It's got this cheerful and encouraging rhythms, you can't help but feel better. And the lyrics doesn't necessarily have to be about football:

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 is on
You feel it
But you got it all
Believe it
....

For me, they tell me to withstand life's difficulties and never to give up, but take up the fight. I need that sort of lyrics sometimes.
It's interesting really how important music is to me. Music is my therapy.

And as usual with Shakira; I prefer the Spanish version of her songs.



Apparently "waka waka" is an expression in Fang, a Cameroon dialect, for "Do it" or "Get the task done".
