Shakira's official SA 2010 song not catching on?

Here is the official 2010 FIFA World Cup song. It's called Waka Waka (This time for Africa) by Shakira and Freshly Ground. It's not a bad song, I feel. But still, K'naan's is better!

See the lyrics after the video.



LYRICS

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

Should "Wavin' Flag" have been the official World Cup song or what?

The song below was done by K'naan and taken by Coca Cola as its promotional song for the upcoming Mundial. And I think it's better than Shakira's song that's the official one.

The lyrics of Wavin' Flag  is after this video. Enjoy!



LYRICS

Ooooooh Wooooooho

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher

See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our head are liftin’, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration it surrounds us, every nation, all around us


Singin forever young, singin songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautifull game.
And together at the end of the day.


WE ALL SAY


When I get older I will be stronger


They’ll call me freedom Just like a wavin’ flag


And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back


When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag


And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes


Oooooooooooooh woooooooooohh hohoho


Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher
See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our head are liftin’, as we lose our inhibition,

Singin forever young, singin songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautifull game.
And toghetter at the end of the day.
