I love this song i sang it in grade for with my class in front of the whole school! come on k'naan's frickin awesome when my class sang that the whole school started singing along.
i'm half filipino, half british, but all i want to say us, i will help Africans..... i will make poems, and songs like this that can touch people's heart so they wake to the fact that africans needs help....... they need liberation not discrimination and humiliation
@stolenspoon8 I mentioned it earlier, but the reason is because the sound quality on youtube is directly related to the video quality. Higher is better. I recommend at least 480p for good sound. Seems like a lot of people don't know that on here. Especially the 12 people that voted up knaanmuusika's comment. lol
@mkdragon65 Well I can't make you smarter so feel free to doubt. Or you could use the magic of the interwebs to do a search on it and see that I'm right.
@XComPointer Read a bit more Mr. lol. I AM talking sound quality, because it's directly associated to the video quality, which is low, so guess what Mr. lol, the sound quality is low also. SO many dumb people. Seriously? Learn to read.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW U? STARTED READING this DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 PICS OR VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
Why are people trying to prove how unracist they are by mentioning they're white? If you like the song it's fine! There's no racial restrictions on music.
@ZipsterLOL I couldn't care about likes and if you scroll down you'll find someone mentioning being white, it's not just on this vid/song you'll find similar comments on videos of anything remotely inspirational by a person of color. Troll harder.
I am a 15 year old white girl. About as white as they get. <3 I posted this to facebook. My friends were like..what? And i was like "I dont even <3, But i love this."
The waving flag that represents blood spilled by the indians. When you get older you wont be stronger you will be a product called a citizen. Property of the corporation called united states just like microsoft just like sony we are products. You wanna be called freedom?? than kill your self than i will call your freedom

@MrPa1310 you are being ignorant. compared to the oppression in many other countries, untied states is a breeding ground for self-capitalism. stop being an asshat
@tdogwashere98 have you heard a few of his older tracks like, 'strugglin' and 'stabbed by satan'? I can listen to Knaan one minute and NOFX the next haha. pretty pink of me.
@tdogwashere98 your friend is black, that doesn't mean you're not racist. You may not show it in front of him/her. but you have it in your blood. Because otherwise, there was no reason for you to include colours in a comment on this song ;) (P.S. saying dumbass won't make you stronger ;), that is not what he meant by this song )
@tdogwashere98 From your language you seem to be immature, so let's just postpone this discussion for now. we'll resume it as soon as you're a little older, I promise ;)
No I'm not going to press any number on my keyboard

Music is there to be listened and appreciated, unfortunately there are people out there who just don't see that. The music industry is becoming more about marketing and less about musical quality
This song makes me want to strip naked, burst out of my room window, free fall 21 floors, land in the snow, make a snow angel, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE!, go the pearly gate, say whats up to Saint Peter, do our secret hand shake, look in the directory for Siddhartha (Buddha), find Him, have Him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, and listen to this song again
@supliments hey dumb shit im 14 and i have famous people sending me videos asking me for my honest opinion fuck off and get a job, btw go to schoo? im in middle school 14 and has a job, stfu and go mmake fun of someone that you actually know dumb fuck
Does anyone realize this isn't the actual World Cup song? Other than the chorus, both Wavin' Flags have completely different music and lyrics.
K'naan rewrote the verses for the 'Coca-Cola Celebration Mix' as they did not fit the joyous tone of a typical World Cup song. Instead of "violent prone, poor people zone", it's "in the streets our heads are liftin'".
wow its just like i was there this song just changed my life im in a good mood K'Naan is the world greatest singer i love his songs i think my life is like K'Naan sweet
