Stand up, dust yourself off, and then go back in. Saddles are on the road again. You're at the front. Everyone is watching. You know this is serious. You know the situation is critical. We're getting closer. It's not over yet. There is pressure. The pressure is coming. You feel it, but you have everything. Believe it, stand up when you fall, stand up when you fall ... oh, oh ... if you fall, stand up. If you fall and get up, the rest is Swahili "Zamina Zamina Zamina Zangale wa an Awam a? The meaning of "A" can be roughly explained as: I'm awake, I'm awake, light! Shine! A powerful army! Zamina Mina Eh Waka Waka Eh Come on! Come on! Do it! Do it! That's what we have to do! Yango hé hé zaminazangalewa, wait! Come on!
