Welcome to the most beautiful game in the world

Hedzo shumba dzenhabvu (hedzo shumba dzenhabvu)

Hona nhasi tasangana (hona nhasi tasangana)
Hona nhasi tasangana (hona nhasi tasangana)
Hona nhasi kunofiwa (hona nhasi kunofiwa)
Hona nhasi kunofiwa (hona nhasi kunofiwa)

Vamwe vedu vachafara (vamwe vedu vachafara)
Vamwe vedu vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)

Hona shumba dzemitambo (hona shumba dzemitambo)
Hona shumba dzemitambo (hona shumba dzemitambo)

Hona nhasi kunofiwa (hona nhasi kunofiwa)

Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)


We′re right here in France where 24 nations
Are battling it out for the World Cup
From England Paul "Gaza" Gascoigne is here
From Germany, Oliver Bierhoff is here
From Brazil, Ronaldo is here
From Italy Gianfranco Zola is here
From South Africa, Philimon Chippa Masinga is here
From Morocco Said Chiba is here
From Cameroon, Alphonse Tchami is here
From Nigeria Austin JJ Okocha is here

Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)

Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)
Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachafara (vamwe vedu vachafara)
Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)
Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachafara (vamwe vedu vachafara)

Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)
Kana mutambo wapera (kana mutambo wapera)

Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)
Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachafara (vamwe vedu vachafara)
Vamwe (vamwe) vedu (vedu) vachasuwa (vamwe vedu vachasuwa)

Bafana Bafana from South Africa doing Southern Africa proud here
Ronaldo "magic" is a marvel to behold
JJ's fancy footwork brings the stadium alive
Gaza′s humor illuminates all


When it all ends, who will be victorious?
A near-miss, a shot, a save, a header
It's a goal!
It's all going to be part of the excitement

England did it in 1966
Brazil did it in 1970
West Germany did it in 1974
Argentina did it in 1978
Italy did it in 1982 with Paulo Rossi
Argentina did it with great Maradona in 1986
Germany did it in 1990
Romario′s Brazil did it in 1994
And who′s going to do it in 1998?
That's the excitement
