Mm
Oh
Lala kahle

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight

Imbube

Ingonyama ifile
Ingonyama ilele, thula

Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight

Imbube
Ingonyama ilele, oh

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

Ixesha lifikile (He, ha helelemama)
Ixesha lifikile, lala (He, ha helelemama)
Lala kahle

Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight

He, ha helelemama

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

Ingonyama ilele
Ingonyama ilele
Ingonyama ilele
