Dibalik Lagu Wavin' Flag (Lagu Piala Dunia 2010)
Wavin' Flag adalah lagu yang dipilih sebagai anthem FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 untuk mengusung pesan-pesan dan semangat Piala Dunia 2010 saat lagu tersebut berhasil mencapai Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 pada Februari 2010.
Versi gubahannya yang dirilis pada 30 April 2010 itu menggusung tema perayaan (celebration), dan karenanya ia diberi label pelengkap "Celebration Mix" di belakang judul aslinya. Selain celebration, lagu tersebut juga mengkampanyekan persatuan (unity) antarbangsa di dunia, serta persahabatan yang diwujudkan lewat kompetisi dunia tersebut.
Hehehe... disinilah uniknya, di balik kesan perayaan sekaligus kompetisi akbar dunia yang diusung oleh athem FIFA World Cup 2010, Versi asli lagu tersebut sebenarnya menyampaikan pesan sosial yang mendalam, yakni tentang perang yang tak kunjung usai.
Penulis dan pelantun lagu tersebut, K'naan (Keinan Abdi Warsame) adalah seorang penyanyi rap dan musisi asal Somalia, sebuah negara di Afrika timur yang penduduknya belum bisa tidur nyenyak akibat perang sipil berkepanjangan di Mogadishu serta pemerintahan yang tak kunjung diagungkan.
Melalui single Wavin' Flag, pada awalanya K'naan menyuarakan permasalahan sosial yang di alaminya dan warga somalia lainnya akibat perang sipil yang terjadi sejak 1991 hingga sekarang, serta kritik pada negara-negara yang memperkeruh konflik dan mengobarkan perang di berbagai belahan dunia.
Berdasarkan pernyataan K'naan tentang ia dan negaranya, Amerika Serikat adalah (salah satu) negara yang di kritiknya lewat lagu tersebut. Hal tersebut bertolak beakang dengan gegap-gempita semangat persatuan antarbangsa yang digaungkan amerika serikat (lewat lagu Coca-Cola) melalui anthem FIFA WORLD CUP 2010.
Inilah lirik original Wavin' Flag dari K'naan:
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag(x2)
And then it goes back (x3)
Oh
Born to a throne
Stronger than rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
But it's my home
All I have known
Where I got grown
Streets we would roam
Out of the darkness
I came the farthest
Among the hardest (survival)
Learn form these streets
It can be bleek
Accept no defeat
Surrender, retreat
(So we strugglin')
Fighting to eat
(And we wonderin')
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithful day
It's not far away
But for now we say
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
(And then it goes back x3)
Ahhho ahhho ahhho
So many wars, settling scores
Bringin' us promises leaving us poor
I heard them say love is the way
Love is the answer that's what they say
But look how they treat us
Make us believers
We fight there battes
Then they deceive us
Try to control us
They couldn't hold us
Cause we just move forward
Just like buffalo soldiers
(But we strugglin)
Fighting to eat
(And we wonderingg)
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithfully day
It's not far away
But for now we say
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
And then it goes
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just
Like a wavin' flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
Ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
And then it goes
And than everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
Woah woah woah
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
And then it goes
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
A oh a oh a oh
When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a wavin' flag (3x)
Flag (x2)
Just like a wavin' flag

Dari dua lagu tadi bisa disimpulin sendiri dari makna pesan kalimat yang celebration dan original sangat berbeda jauh... Yang celebration menggambarkan persatuan antar bangsa dan yang original menggambarkan tentang pesan sosial dan peperangan yang terjadi di somalia..ironis sekali, di satu sisi kita ber-euforia untuk merayakan Piala Dunia, di satu sisi ada negara yang sangat membutuhkan uluran tangan dari negara-negara adidaya atau negara besar, tapi apa lagu yang harusnya menyadarkan dan mengkritik negara-negara besar untuk membantu negara yang kesusahan malah dijadikan lagu persatuan bangsa demi mewujudkan citra negara besar tersebut... Sungguh ironis sekali, sedih melihat kenyataan kaya begini .
