Waka Waka

Jennifer and I have been doing Zumba to this song since we started taking Zumba classes. I never really listened to the words because I was too busy trying to not mess up the steps maybe? To my surprise Jennifer put it on my MP3 player and while I was vacuuming the synagogue yesterday I almost broke out is Zumba moves. Thankfully I was there alone. LOL! I started laughing and wondering what does this song even say? Well I looked it up today and here it is:

Waka Waka by Shakira

You're a good soldier

Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it
When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...
Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa
Listen to your god
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Dont 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...

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

I love the words! And, it makes me want to dance. LOL! Here is the link to the song: Waka Waka by Shakira

I love that it says "If you get down, get up!" In the past I had a hard time getting back up and would stay down for way too long. Life is too short. I have no time to lay around and stay in bed anymore. Each moment is precious and I plan on making the best of each one!

What I am thankful for today:
everything
