Lyrics

Circle of Life / Nants’ Ingonyama

[RAFIKI]

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama (Yeah, ingonyama)

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama (Hayi Baba)

Ingonyama (Siyo Nqoba)

Ingonyama

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Asana)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

From that day we arrived on the planet

And blinking, stepped 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

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle

The circle of life

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

It's the circle of life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle

The circle of life
