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]

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

    General Comment:A little while ago I saw the musical in San Diego and when they played this song, the opening sequence they use for it was enough to make me cry. It's a beautiful song.

    General Comment:I love this- the circle of life...'more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done'. I so relate to that- there's so much I want to experience and I often contemplate how it's impossible to see and do everything you want to, but at the same time I think that's kinda awesome in a weird way! Love the lion king- classic!

    General Comment:For Black Hole Sun
    Lion and tiger reference is about how all things are connected, despite how they first seem. Thats the point of the song

    General Comment:I agree with Esenthiel ! I also agree w/ Misseverus...it is such a great opener and closer to the movie...which in my opinion is the best Disney movie ever! The song and the movie never fail to make me cry.

    General Comment:This is an amazing song! It humbles the listener, and reminds us that we will not be here forever yet it gives you comfort to know that you are a part of something that will never die.

    General Comment:This song was played during the entrance of my boyfriends funeral... I thought everyone would laugh at the song choice, but everyone actually began crying more. Pretty heartwrenching, especially the end "Till we find our place
    On the path unwinding, In the Circle... The Circle of Life" and then ends with a kinda bang. Ever wanna make a few hundred people cry, play this song.
