Lyrics
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. | Here comes a lion, father. |
Sithi uhm ingonyama. | Oh yes, it's a lion. |
Ingonyama. | |
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. | |
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama. | |
Ingonyama. | |
Siyo nqoba. | We're going to conquer. |
Ingonyama | |
Chant: | |
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala. | A lion and a leopard come to this open place. |
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. |
