Lyrics and World Cup themed video to K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” Song

As we reported recently, K’naan’s song Wavin Flag has been chosen as the official (coca cola) FIFA Football World Cup song for South Africa 2010. Some of the biggest African and global music stars like Alicia Keys, John Legend and Anjelique Kidjo will be performing at the opening ceremony. The other World Cup Anthem is R Kelly’s Sign of a Victory.

For those who will like to sing along to K’naan’s Wavin Flag, the lyrics and the World Cup themed video are below:

Ooooooh Wooooooh, Ooooooh Wooooooh

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

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, its around us, every nations, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful 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

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

So wave your flag, now wave your flag, now wave your flag

Oooohhh, Oooooooooh wooooohh, Oooooooooh wooooohh

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

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, its around us, every nations, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful 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

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

So wave your flag, now wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag (4x)

Oohhoooohh Woooh Ohohooooh Wooohoooh

We all say

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

So wave your flag, now wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag (4x)

Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh

And everybody will be singing it

Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh

And we all will be singing it

    HORRIBLE SONG !!! I wish Coke would stop playing it on a loop for their telephone “hold” music. I would rather hear nails on a chalkboard !!!
