The chorus is sung in Fang, a Central African dialect. However, Shakira lyrics are altered minutely so as to avoid furthur legal conflicts with Golden Sounds, who composed the original song:
- Tsamina mina - "Come" (as in to present oneself hither-to)
- Waka waka - "Do it" (as in to perform an action)
- Tsamina mina zangalewa - "Who asked you to come?"
- Anawa (originally ana wam) - "It's mine"
- Django (originally zambo) -"Wait"
Shakira uses anawa instead of the original ana wam. She also uses django instead of zambo.

Where did the bad words develop and how?
The meanings of words is constantly changing. So, words today that we think are bad words have changed meanings. At one time they were not "bad" words. Through out history there has always been a battle between the forces of what is proper in language and what is slang. There is an old Hindi proverb that "language changes every 18 to 20 miles." So, words and their meanings change just as fast depending on the area or country you are in. For instance, a donkey can still be called a moke, or a cuddy, a nirrup, or a pronkus. A perfect example of a word that has completely changed meanings is the word "gay." If you had said someone was gay 80 years ago it only had meant he/she was a happy person or someone who told a good joke. Today, that meaning has completely changed in usage. Thousands of words and expressions have changed over the years.
