Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher  

See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud  

In the streets our hands are lifting, as we lose our inhibition 

Celebration, its around us, every nation, all around us     

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath the sun  

Let's rejoice in the beautiful game,

and together at the end of the day   We all say  

When I get older, I will be stronger 

 They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag  

And then it goes back   And then it goes back  And then it goes back  

And then it goes ...  

When I get older, I will be stronger    They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag  

And then it goes back   And then it goes back  And then it goes back  

And then it goes ...  

Oooooooooooooh wooooooooooh!  

Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher  

See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud

In the streets our hands are lifting, as we lose our inhibition 

Celebration, its around us, every nation, all around us  

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath the sun  

Let's rejoice in the beautiful game,

and together at the end of the day   We all say

When I get older, I will be stronger  

They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag  

And then it goes back  And then it goes back And then it goes back

And then it goes ...  

When I get older, I will be stronger   

They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag 

And then it goes back   And then it goes back  And then it goes back

And then it goes ...   Oooooooooooooh wooooooooooh!  

And then it goes ...(2x)   Oooooooooooooh wooooooooooh!  

And everybody will be singing it ....   Oooooooooooooh wooooooooooh!  

And we all will be singing it ...   

演唱者克南（k'naan）   《飘扬的旗帜》是他今年2月底发行的专辑《游吟诗人》中的一首歌，歌曲带有浓郁的非洲气息，表达了对这片充满战火 、贫穷和落后的土地不离不弃的热爱。在今年9月国际足联举行的世界杯主题曲征集中，克南将自己的歌曲寄给了国际足联，最终被国际足联所认可，成为了南非世界杯的主题歌。   据悉，克南已经联手西班牙xxDavid Bisbal特别为世界杯重新制作一款混音版的《飘扬的旗帜》用于宣传，两个版本届时都将收录在南非世界杯歌曲专辑之中。
