Ubuse busa le lizwe

Ubuse busa le lizwe

Lizwe busa Simba

Ubuse ngo thando

Lefatshe la bonata rona

Lea halalela

Busa le lizwe bo

Ubuse ngo xolo

Ubuse ngo thando

Ubuse ngo xolo

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Circle of Life!
