Shadowland

[LIONESSES]

Fatshe leso lea halalela

Fatshe leso lea halalela

[NALA]

Shadowland

The leaves have fallen

This shadowed land

This was our home

The river's dry

The ground has broken

So I must go

Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me

Let your prayers be my guide

I cannot stay here, my family

But I'll remember my pride

(sung in counterpoint)

[LIONESSES]

Pride Land

My land

Tear-stained

Dry land

Take this

With you

Fatshe leso

[NALA]

I have no choice

I will find my way

Lea halalela

Take this prayer

What lies out there

Fatshe leso

Lea halalela

(instrumental break)

[LIONESSES]

And where the journey may lead you

Let this prayer be your guide

Though it may take you so far away

Always remember your pride

[RAFIKI]

Oh

Wanatali n’suyeye bababo

Haya haya uo haya uo ayaba

N’guala lawagnata

Ngiza haya za u’te’

Nga di wagna ta usgnisibale

Ngere ciba seu, ngera ciba seu

Haya

Haya

[NALA & LIONESSES]

Fatshe leso lea halalela

Fatshe leso lea halalela

(sung in counterpoint)

[LIONESSES]

And where the journey may lead you

Let this prayer be your guide

Though it may take you so far away

Always remember your pride

And where the journey may lead you

Let this prayer be your guide

Though it may take you so far away

Always remember your pride

[NALA]

And where the journey may lead me

Let your prayers be my guide

Though it may take me so far away

I'll remember my pride

Ngiza buya bo, ngiza buya bo

I will return, I will return

Oh, beso bo

Ngiza buya bo

I will return

Ngiza buya bo

Oh, ngiza buya bo

Beso bo, my people

Beso bo
