From the day we arrive
On this planet,
And blinking, step into the sun;
There is more to see,
Than can ever be seen;
More to do;
Than can ever be done.
Hmm...
There is 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!
Bale ki 'ngonyami akale!
And it moves us all!
Ingonyama nengw' enemab'
Ingonyama nengw' enemab'
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...
Bayede! Ndebe sitha!
Khosi m'khosi! Siyabonga baba!
Bayede!
Helele helele helele!
Ukele we sizwe! Khosi wen khofu!
Siyabonga baba! Bayede!
Siyabonga baba!
Khwathu ma fikele! Khwene ndaba!
Khwathu ma fikele! Wen o wen khofu!
Siyobonga baba! Bayede!...
It's the circle of life!
Bale ki 'ngonyami akale!
And it moves us all!
Ingonyama nengw' enemab'
Through despair and hope;
Through faith and love!
'Til we find our place;
On the path unwinding!
In the circle!
The circle of life!
