PERFORMANCE NOTES

This iconic song from the 1994 Disney animated movie, The Lion King, has been given new

life in the 2019 live-action movie of the same title. The song, written by Elton John with

lyricist Tim Rice, includes the iconic Zulu opening which was written and sung by

Lebohang "Lebo M" Morake, who is a South African producer and composer. The opening

yCs are quite literal as you will see. This arrangement should be sung with much gusto

and energy.

Enjoy! Roger Emerson

Translation: Zulu

Nan-ts' n-go-nya-ma ba-ki-thi ba-ba. (Here comes a lion, Father.)

Si-thi hu ngo-nya-ma. (We hail the lion.)

T-ngo-nya-ma neng-we na-ma ba-la.

(The royal lion wears his leopard spots.)

Pronunciation:

Nahn-tsee goen-yah-mah bah-kee-tee bah-bah.

See-tee who nohn-yah-mah.

Ing-no-nyah-mah neng-wee nah-mah bah-lah.
