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)
