Circle of life

Nants’ ingonyama, bakithi, baba
Sithi hu ‘ngonyama, ingonyama
Ngonyama nengwe bo!
Nants’ ingonyama, bakithi babo
Sizo nqo’!

Ingonyama nengwe ’namabala
Ingonyama nengwe ’namabala
Ingonyama nengwe ’namabala
Ingonyama nengwe ’namabala

From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step 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
(Balek’ ingonyam’i ya gale’!)
And it moves us all
(Ingonyama nengwe wema!)
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On a path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

It's the circle of life
(Balek’ ingonyam’i ya gale’!)
And it moves us all
(Ingonyama nengwe wema!)
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On a path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
