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

Imbube
fcuk
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


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)


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


My little darling
Don't fear my little darling
My little darling
Don't fear my little darling

Ingonyama ilele (The lion sleeps)
(Repeat to fade)
