Nants ingonyama bagithi baba  [There comes a lion]



Sithi uhhmm ingonyama         [Oh yes, it's a lion]







Nants ingonyama bagithi baba



Sithi uhhmm ingonyama



Ingonyama







Siyo Nqoba                    [We're going to conquer]



Ingonyama



Ingonyama nengw' enamabala    [Here is a lion and a tiger]







[Chant repeats]







From the day we arrive on the planet



And blinking, step into the sun



There's more to see than can ever be seen



More to do than can ever be done



There's far too much to take in here



More to find than can ever be found



But the sun rolling high



Through the sapphire sky



Keeps great and small on the endless round







It's the Circle of Life



And it moves us all



Through despair and hope



Through faith and love



Till we find our place



On the path unwinding



In the Circle



The Circle of Life







It's the Circle of Life



And it moves us all



Through despair and hope



Through faith and love



Till we find our place



On the path unwinding



In the Circle



The Circle of Life
