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)
