Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics

    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)

    Repeat to fade
