I was just listening to king of pride rock, and I really like it when they start singing in Zulu. What I was wondering about is if there this is a different song (the Zulu stuff). so anybody knows if there is a longer version?

this text I mean
Spoiler: show
Ndabe zitha [King of kings]
Nkosi yethu [Our king]
Mholi wezwe lethu [Ruler of our land]

Lefatshe la bonata rona [This land of our ancestors]
Lea halalela [Is holy]

Busa le lizwe bo [Rule this land]
Busa le lizwe bo
Busa le lizwe bo
Lethu busa ngoxolo [Rule with peace]
Is'khathi sifikile [The time has come]
Is'khathi busa iyo [It's time, rule]
Is'khathi sifikile [The time has come]
Busa lomhlaba [Rule this land]

Is'khathi sifikile [The time has come]
Is'khathi sifikile
Busa Simba [Rule, Simba]
Busa Simba

Hem na iyo
Hem na iyo
Hem na nkosi bo [Rule, our king]
Busa Simba iyo [Rule, Simba]

Hem na iyo Oh busa Simba iyo
[Oh, rule Simba]
Hem na iyo Oh busa nkosi bo
[Ah, king of kings]
Hem na nkosi bo Oh busa Simba iyo
[Rule, our king] [Oh, rule Simba]
Busa Simba iyo Busa Simba iyo
[Rule, Simba] [Rule, Simba]

Ubuse ngo thando [Rule with love]
Ubuse ngo thando
Ubuse ngo xolo [Rule with peace]
Busa Simba, Busa Simba [Rule, Simba, rule, Simba]

Ubuse ngo xolo [Rule with peace]
Ubuse ngo thando [Rule with love]
Ubuse ngo xolo
Ubuse ngo thando
Ubuse ngo xolo

The first couple of phrases I'm not sure about, but the rest is a song called Busa which is on The Rhythm of the Pridelands :) It's sung by Lebo M.

^ To build up on Astra's post. Yes, Busa has the same lyrics, and for the most part, sounds similar enough. But there are other versions too:

At the end of "This Land", there is the segment that sound close to the end of King of Priderock. This is what plays when Rafiki sends Simba back (Good! Go On! Get out of here! - that scene).

But there is another similar segment in the end of "Under The Stars"". This plays right after the end of the movie, in the credits. It starts off almost the same as the end of "King of Priderock", but changes somewhat in the end.
