"He Lives in You"
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [Here is a lion and a tiger]
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela [Listen]
Oh, oh, iyo
And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers
Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela [Listen]
Oh, oh, iyo
Ubukhosi bo khokho [Throne of the ancestors]
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke [Oh, son of the nation)]
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith
Hela hey mamela [Hey, listen]
(Chorus)
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [Here is a lion and a tiger]
(repeat)
(repeat third verse)
(repeat chorus)
"Hakuna Matata"
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo
When I was a cool young one
(When he was a cool young one)
I worked in the colony, paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
Diggin' holes, standin' guard till it crossed my mind
I was wrong
All along
All that I needed
Was to have heeded
(Chorus)
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
When I was a shallow youth
(When he was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game, I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still
Take my word
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded
(Chorus)
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo
Hakuna Matata!
I hope we have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worldly wise
(Chorus)
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" Lala kahle [Sleep well] In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight (Chorus) Imbube Ingonyama ifile [The lion's in peace] Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps] Thula [Hush] Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight (Chorus) Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps] Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling The lion sleeps tonight Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling The lion sleeps tonight He, ha helelemama [He, ha helelemama] Ohi'mbube [lion] (Chorus) Ixesha lifikile [Time has come] Lala [Sleep] Lala kahle [Sleep well] Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight (Chorus) My little darling Don't fear, my little darling My little darling Don't fear, my little darling Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps] "Kube"
There's a river
Standing between me
And my home
There's a river
Standing between me
And my home
The name of the river
Kube is the name
The name of the river
Kube is the name
(Chorus)
Kube
Kube-Tu
I've got to cross over
I've got to cross over
Kube-Tu
I've been here
I've been there
All of my life
I've been a rolling stone
A rolling stone
Gathers no moss
All of my life
I've been a rolling stone
Ngi vulel' Indlela Kube [Make way for me, Kube]
Kube Kube Kube-Tu [Kube, please]
(Chorus)
Kube
Kube-Tu
(Repeat)
There's a river
Standing between me
And my home
There's a river
Kube is the name
Got to stand up
Got to move on
Got to build me
A life of my own
Got to stand up
Got to move on
Got to build me
A life of my own
Ngi vulel' Indlela Kube [Make way for me, Kube]
Kube Kube Kube-Tu [Kube, please]
(Chorus)
Kube
Kube-Tu
I've got to cross over
I've got to cross over
Kube-Tu
I've been stumbling and falling
I've got to get up and move on

The sun is shining
The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When I was a little boy
Full of life and pride
They look so peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
So sweet and graceful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
They're all so hopeful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
(Chorus)
It's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]
Somtimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay
To be peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And to be hopeful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
It's sweet and graceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itmuele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
(Chorus)
Tsatsi lahao [Your day]
Lefihlile [Has come]
Ithabise [Celebrate]
Ithabise [Celebrate]
(Repeat)
(Chorus)
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa here
Then this laid-back quadruped
Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
As long as you stand upwind
Your guide must be this rhapsody
(Chorus)
I gets up when I likes
He's got it all worked out
I plans the day ahead
He's got it all worked out
When inspiration strikes
He's got it all worked out
I go right back to bed
He's got it all worked out
But though he may not be one of nature's dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Don't dismiss the warthog philosphy
Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out
Take it from me!
He's got it all worked out
Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place
More often than not it gets away
Who needs the thrill of the chase?
Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log
Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
Hmmmmmmmmm
His attitude
(Chorus)
It's bugs for every meal
I've got it all worked out
So full of vitamins
I've got it all worked out
No need to cook or peel
I've got it all worked out
He eats 'em in their skins
I've got it all worked out
The're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back
Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy
Take it from he
Take it from me
Take it from he
He's got it all worked out
So remember when you see us staring into space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality
Take it from he
Take it from me
Take it from he
Take it from we
We've got it all worked out
