(FIFA.com) Saturday 10 July 2010
Others
After performing at the kick-off concert for this FIFA World Cup™, Shakira will also contribute to Final day in South Africa when she sings the official tournament anthem, Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), before the players of Netherlands and Spain take the field at Soccer City.
The Colombian pop singer, who also performed prior to the 2006 Final in Germany, took time out from rehearsing to reflect on an "inspiring" month and explain to FIFA.com why she is rooting for Spain and why she has fallen in love with both football and her South African hosts.
What has struck you most about being in South Africa?
南非世界杯给你最震撼的是什么?
I think this whole month that I spent in South Africa has been so inspiring, so stimulating, one of the happiest months of my life in recent years. It's been so exciting to wake up every morning looking forward to the matches, looking forward to the newspaper just to open the sports section because I became such a football fanatic. The people of South Africa are definitely the highlight of this World Cup. They're amazing, they're so joyful, expressive and affectionate. I've been feeling the love since the first day I arrived, every day more and more. For the first time of my life, I arrived at immigration and I saw the immigration officers actually dancing and singing the Waka Waka. It's been such an amazing experience.
这段时间,在南非度过如此美妙的一个月,令人鼓舞的、无比刺激的、置身于最幸福海洋的一个月,这是我近年来少有的。。。
They're amazing, they're so joyful, expressive and affectionate. Shakira on South Africans.
Have you been to any games?
看了所有比赛吗?
I've been to three. I went to the first game right after the kick-off concert, Mexico-South Africa. I went to Argentina-Nigeria and to Spain-Paraguay. And tomorrow, Spain-Netherlands.
——我只看了三场比赛。第一场即墨西哥vs南非、阿根廷vs尼日利亚、西班牙vs巴拉圭,一共三场。最后一场去看决赛西班牙vs荷兰
Which teams have you been following?
哪些队伍是你追随的?
Of course I was supporting the Latin teams. I think they've played an amazing role in this World Cup. Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil. But I think the Spanish team is quite amazing. And I support them big time. It's my moral duty, I'm Hispanic and I have to support the Spanish team.
拉丁队伍,阿根廷、乌拉圭、巴拉圭、巴西。但我认为,西班牙是相当迷人的,支持丫时间不短了。这是道德问题,我是西班牙后裔,我不得不支持西班牙队。
Can you give your prediction for the Final?
你能给出你对决赛的预测吗
I wouldn't dare to predict the score but I think you have to believe the octopus. So whatever Paul says, I'll go with him.
我不敢预测这样一场比赛的结果,但我认为你不得不相信那只章鱼。正如保罗所言西班牙取胜,所以我与那只章鱼同行同思
Have you learned anything from practising and performing with the South African group Freshlyground?
Absolutely. Freshlyground are such an amazing group. Zolani's voice is very unique, it's incredible. I love their flavours and how they combine different influences and pop music. They're just an amazing talent. I've been so pleased to work with them and to count on their talent for the Waka Waka song.
What is your best memory of the tournament?
你最深刻记忆的时刻是什么?
One of the most memorable moments I've experienced was when I was stuck in traffic going to the Argentina-Nigeria match and I saw people in the street, coming out of their cars, dancing and singing, and giving me so many hugs. I have never received so many hugs in one month! They're so affectionate, so sweet. All the time, you see a smile on their faces and that is quite inspiring. It has definitely shaped this World Cup. It has also influenced the entire environment, the surroundings and the tourist mood as well. Because I think the tourists feed from the locals' energy. And the locals have been so kind to them that no one can complain. You've seen that spirit of integration, respect and tolerance on the field and in the stadium too. You see how the soccer players hug themselves after a match, how the fans are completely in harmony with the football fans of the opposite team. I think that happens because this World Cup is being held here in South Africa. That influences everyone's state of mind in so many ways.
当我去看阿根廷vs尼日利亚比赛,陷入了交通堵塞,当时我看到,在大街上,人们纷纷从他们小车里钻出来,跳呀唱呀,并且给了我许多拥抱,这就是最深刻的震撼记忆之一。。。。因为世界杯在南非举行,融合、尊敬和宽容的精神,在球场内外处处可见时时闪光。这种影响在每个人内心世界中是如此多元化。 |
