This is the Shakira's song "Waka Waka" that was used as the World Cup song for 2010.
The non-English portions of this song are mostly African and are pulled from another older song: Zamina.
"Zamina" or "Zangalewa" was a 1986 hit song originally done by an African group called Golden Sounds. This song pays tribute to African skirmishers during WW2. This is an excellent pump up song for policemen, boy scouts, sports and training. (I gathered this info from this website)
