2010 FIFA World Cup Official Anthem 2010年南非世界杯主题曲


Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) is a song by world-famous Colombian Latin America singer Shakira. It features South African band Freshlyground. The song was officially chosen as the anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, along with its Spanish language version. Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) is the name of the new football anthem, and with its rhythmical African sounds, the song represents the vitality and energy of the host continent. South African guitars back up the Afro-Colombian rhythm and Soca beat. The chorus is similar to that of a popular Cameroon song made famous by Golden Voices in particular.

The FIFA World Cup is a miracle of global excitement, connecting every country, race, religion and condition around a single passion. It represents the four-week festival of football in South Africa and an event that has the power to unite and integrate, and that’s what this song is about. Nothing represents the joy of football better than music, especially when it is a song so full of energy and dynamism like Waka Waka.



Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) 是哥伦比亚的著名拉丁歌手夏奇拉(Shakira)与南非本土组合 Freshlyground 所演唱的歌曲是以英语及西班牙语版本,同时被选为2010年南非世界杯官方的主题曲。Waka Waka 是非洲斯瓦西里语中的一个动词,意思是:火焰,热烈的燃烧,闪耀等,在东非诸国通用,同时也是非盟及多国的官方用语。也如其歌名一样,具有浓郁的非洲特色,除了典型非洲手节奏的运用,还在歌曲背景中加入了南非极富韵律的吉他独奏。歌曲表达了世界杯是一项世界同欢的赛事,它将不同国家,种族,以及不同地域的人们紧紧联系到一起,宣扬人类之间友谊、关爱的精神。

在这首歌的MV中,还有许多球星参与其中,包括以往世界杯比赛的精彩场景镜头。歌曲舞蹈动作也经过精心的编辑,热情奔放动作开放,体现出浓厚的非洲风格,突显了非洲舞蹈的艺术感染力。在舞蹈中有几段双手合十欢快舞动肢体的动作,当唱到 Waka Waka 的旋律,配合非洲踩踏舞步和歌曲的明快节奏跳出,动作简单但令人印象深刻。这些原始而自然的舞蹈动作贯穿整首歌曲,成为歌曲最标志性的动作。让我们一起视听《哇咔哇咔》,共享世界杯带来的激情与欢乐。
