Versions: #1#2#3#4
The moment has arrived, the walls fall it's going to start, the one fair game the kick doesn't hurt, fear doesn't exist dust yourself off, stand up and get back in the ring
And the pressure is felt your people wait for you
Now let's go for all and luck is with you
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
'cause this is Africa
Come, come eh, eh [1]
Do it, do it, eh, eh [2]
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
'cause this is Africa
Listen to your God and you won't be alone
You came here to shine and have it all
This hour is approaching, this is the moment
You're going to win every battle, I feel it
You must start at zero to touch the sjy
Now let's go for all
And let's all go for them
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
'cause this is Africa
Come, come eh, eh [1]
Do it, do it, eh, eh [2]
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
I did, yeah!
Teams are back to defend their country
From A to Z
They eliminate the other teams to defend their country
From East to West
As they say:
Come, come eh, eh
Come come eh, eh
All countries must come back
'cause this is Africa! [4]
(Come, come, Me, yeah)
Come, come eh, eh [1]
Do it, do it, eh, eh [2]
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
'cause this is Africa
Waiting eh, eh
Waiting eh, eh
Come, come, Who asked you to come [3]
I did, yeah
'cause this is Africa
'cause this is Africa
