Title: Zangalewa
'Verse: TFA Transformers
Characters: Ensemble
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: TF cussing
Notes: For the June '10 challenge at the PxJ comm. I took the history and the translations of the Waka Waka song from these two sites.
The term Zangalewa can also come from an expression in Ewondo: Loé wa za anga?, it would be “Who called you?” Cameroon is a multiethnic, multilingual, and not all the soldiers could speak Ewondo, so it is very likely that over time the term wa za anga Loé became the Zangalewa that we know today.
When the young recruits of the Republican Guard Cameroon complained about the rigors of military life, their employers or fellow old people used to raise this question: Loé wa za anga?, which actually meant something like: “(N)obody has forced (you) to join the army, so stop whining!"
~ Best Zamina mina (Zangalewa) Translation, Meaning, lyrics, Video World Cup Soccer Football 2010 Song
Waka waka = Do the job
Tsaminamina zangalewa = Where do you come from/Who called you?
anawam aa = Yes, I did.
Y vamos por todo = We go all out/Do our utmost
( ... Waka waka eh eh/Tsamina mina zangalewa/Anawa aa... )
