aliya khatoon shah Accurate depiction of the war my country (the US) is still fighting after almost 15 YEARS! AND OVER OIL?!? WHEN WILL THIS INSANITY STOP? IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!!!!!! It will, and it will occur when we stand together against those who put us in this mess in the first place--the establishment politicians. We will make it through, and we need to! :'(((
I miss this version. Thank you for posting it, I thought it was some conspiracy because all I could find was the Olympic commercialized version. This version is deep and powerful.
One Year Stand But it is true, may be bad, but is what we have, and is so ineseary and stupid that when you get to think on it, you realize that this need to stop
To my friends in Somalia and the rest of war-torn countries, as a victim of government oppression from Myanmar, I understand how much this song touches your heart and I can relate with so many of you. But as the song goes "Out of the darkness, I came the farthest." Do not give up hope
We get all these bullshit pop songs about going to the club, "love" and how you'er broken hatred because your ex broke up with you for the umpteenth time. But this is a real song here. These lyrics have real meaning.
Im italian and here then you have passed "quinta elementare" you have to leave your friends and change school.. When i heard this song first time i was in "quinta" now it is 5 years where i dont See my old friends at all... Thanks to this song i remember them... Sorry for my bad english
I remember this song got big back in 2010 for the South Africa World Cup, I don't really like football or anything like that, I really like this song, listening to it again 6 years later brings back memories, it has such a good meaning to it, I miss when music had effort. Anyone got a time machine? I wanna go back to 2010 :')
I would go back to 2008 because after that music started going downhill 2010 was the last of that kind of music so I would want a little more time with the good songs :)
This is for Somalia, how strong our people are, they still survive after years of war,hate struggle and blood. We have this unbreakable hope in freedom. :)
I like to think of this song as the prelude to a peaceful nation where sacrifice and struggle have to come first. The remix for the celebration once the fight is over.
Has anyone else just realized how much kids nowadays have very bad music to remember when they're older. I feel bad for them because we all have this beautiful music to listen to and remember the good old days when we were all young
coracka true this have the emotion of all soccer fans damn i feel like crying while listening to this song bring back memories of when i used to play like 2 years ago in 4th grade
I sang this when I was 5 all the time, most of the time the "when I get older I will be stronger they'll call me freedom just like a waving flag," and it brings a tear to my eye, I always knew by time I'd become a stronger individual, and I did :')
Remember being about 9-10 when I first heard this? Me and my mates played it all day everyday... good times. anyway life goes fast I miss the old days, NEVERGROW UP KIDS IT SUCKS! :') xD
devon obiasca because it is about people struggling to eat, people who are proud but can't get any where because or war, poverity but still their spirit is strong and they live in hope when their reality is something different
I know this song because one of my best friends sang it three years ago in a talent show and about a third of the way through we all ran up on stage and sang with her. That was a fun day.
"Look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us"

Victoria Brunner You need to study a little more about foreign policy, If you think it's about oil., I have news for you.
V B “Workers of the world，untied!”
By way of deception, thou shalt make war - the motto of sraeli intelligence. The wars are for the Zionists.
@@miss-astronomikal-mcmxcvii Honestly, the wars are stupid, build bridges, not walls and we need the Democrats in the senate, house, and white house
I mean... only people who hate peace, equality, and fighting for freedom would dislike this.
RosieKat or bad taste
" when i get older i will be stronger " inshAllah i will live good life one day
I miss this version. Thank you for posting it, I thought it was some conspiracy because all I could find was the Olympic commercialized version. This version is deep and powerful.
if u actually read the lyrics its kinda sad
It's completely different from the lyrics of the coca-cola "remix," which was more like a separate song.
The changed the lyrics to be more 'politicaly correct' i.e to shut up the truth of the tyrants of North America and Europe.
Or because it was a world cup celebration song so it wasn't really the time to sing about sadness and hardship...Just a thought like
One Year Stand But it is true, may be bad, but is what we have, and is so ineseary and stupid that when you get to think on it, you realize that this need to stop
Manusia Ganteng I mean it was moreso to make it fit the theme of the world cup, but okay.
1:13 to 1:38 perfectly explains the situation of when india was under british rule.
😮
Yep
Every commonwell country to be exact lol
To my friends in Somalia and the rest of war-torn countries, as a victim of government oppression from Myanmar, I understand how much this song touches your heart and I can relate with so many of you. But as the song goes "Out of the darkness, I came the farthest." Do not give up hope
This should be anthem of the world.
Agreed
yes the anthem of the world (y) :D
Ashish Krishna Pandey AGREED
i ageed with you
We’re not that together as people so it’s gonna be hard to get there
We get all these bullshit pop songs about going to the club, "love" and how you'er broken hatred because your ex broke up with you for the umpteenth time. But this is a real song here. These lyrics have real meaning.
You deserve a like, my friend.
JoNarD LoLz yes, yes he does.
Helen Rowlett-Barbu fuck yeah

Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela, this song is for you, Dec 5, 2013. You were a waving flag for the world
Amen ;( R.IP Nelson Mandela ur my hero
i respect Nelson Mandela he was a hero but Knaan sang this song for his country Somalia
The best part about this song is, it has simple lyrics, great meaning, gives strong feeling, and it was the song in the world cup! Love this song :D.
Love to all the people struggling in poverty.
Africa's song.
This is not just a song ..it is a feeling ...it is a hope...it is the strength... WAVE YOUR FLAG
I like the pep and the slight tune changes from the Coca Cola version better, but the lyrics here were SO MUCH more meaningful.
this is the original one though
Heather Toomey I agree 100%
Heather Toomey
I like to think of this song as the prelude to a peaceful nation where sacrifice and struggle have to come first. The remix for the celebration once the fight is over.
this song makes me feel anything is possible 😂😂💪💪
This should be Syrias national anthem
Agreed I pray for those Assyrians
It's for South Africa though..
Both wrong. It's for Somalia
When you hear it, you'll actually realize it should be ISIS's.
yoginc stfu you sound stupid
Good Luck all people in Syria and Somalia
Love from Pakistan

"....We fight their battles, then they deceive us,
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us,
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers...."
BUFFALO SOLDIERS
still in 2k18.... loveee
Some teacher of mine from 6th grade played this on 9/11, I know this song is about Somalia but I still appreciate the lyrics in relation to 9/11.
When he says," I'll be stronger, just like a waving flag," that means when he gets to see the day Somalia is united, a flag symbolizes unity
Are you German just wondering ?
he actually made this song in general for all countrys struggling in some way he says it in a interview
No ??
sackboy3231 actually he wrote about Somalia and the war but people can interpret music in different ways
lol at people 17 years old and remembering the good old days....
+J H. Booth i am 13 still i miss it
Niramay Batra I don't blame you.
the fact that im 17 and this comment so is true is mind blowing
Aaron Roshell 18 and i miss it like shit
Well they now 21

2016 where you at!! this song still good!!
Now Pitbull ruined the World Cup spirit...
i know what you are saying but one person cannot ruin the World Cup, well sepp blatter maybe ...
I always thought Pitbull looked like an egg with sunglasses
Michael E. Wallendorf Suarez ruined it for Ghana
Michael E. Wallendorf UMM... AND JUSTIN BIEBER!
MR WORLDWIDE
this song is my all time favorite and its words just touch my heart
It's kind of hard to understand but only one person can understand it and that person is who have heart.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS WHEN I WAS LIKE 9...4 years, almost 5..wow, time is amazing.
The anthem for progression and never giving up. So awesome.
2017 and still enjoy every lyrics
This song still gives me goosebumps.
You have a great chance for children who have been able for children
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨
Man this song brings back memories of 2010
Till this day, it's still so inspiring....
I Cried When It Said "So We Struggling Fighting To Eat"
This is so much better than ''this time for Africa.'' It almost made me cry and that's how good it is.And it's nothing like s#@t at all.
But this song has nothing to do with football.
it's the song that no one asked for, but everyone needed
Make a research about this guy live, and u will see how great this song is
who still listening to it in 2016 😀
me

+Xavier Nunez Man u reply fast XD

this song was out when i was in grade 2. now i’m in grade 9. time flies
this song makes me happy C:
even though it kinda sad
how come ?
brother k'naan made this song for Islam against Bush's wars... this song now fits the flag of ISIL (ISIS) so perfectly... :)
devon obiasca because it is about people struggling to eat, people who are proud but can't get any where because or war, poverity but still their spirit is strong and they live in hope when their reality is something different
I know this song because one of my best friends sang it three years ago in a talent show and about a third of the way through we all ran up on stage and sang with her. That was a fun day.
Cool to think that she was only three when the song came out.
that last slide though 😂
An anthem calling for freedom turned into an anthem of consumers...
Maria Cervantes I heard it on a 9/11 tribute my friend.
The song was to honest so they took down the original on youtube and made remixes, what a move....
I was born the year this song came out, it is my spirit song
This songs make me nostalgic we sang this song at 5th standard but here i am now in college...misskng school days
By the way this is not only anthem of football but also an anthem of the whole world! YEAH I love it the most as football
Lucijan Praprotnik hi

Am still listening in 2018 and forever in a day I 3 or 4 times live Long k'nann you made Somalia proud of you thank you always
This brings back so many great memories and I feel better when I listen to it! It should be everyone's national anthem!
This is a real song with real meaning, gives you courage and fills you with hope.
I remember listening to this song when I was like 4....I’m 12 now damn time flies
this was and will always be my anthem
:d
I personally prefer this version of the song
This brings back memories
Waving my flag from Egypt

This should be the Palestinian national anthem.
True

All countries that have been divisived by the goverment...so the world!
Good song
No its for somalia
2020? I dedicated this song to my brother. He got stabbed at just 5 years old he is now 7.
