Circle of Life

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice

Performed by Carmen Twillie





Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [There comes a lion]

Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]



Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhhmm ingonyama

Ingonyama



Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]

Ingonyama

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [Here is a lion and a tiger]



[Chant repeats]



From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round



It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life



It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life
