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]
