The Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics & Chords By Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Lala kahle...
Imbube
In the jungle
The mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle
The quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
(Chorus)
Imbube
Ingonyama ifile
Ingonyama ilele
Thula
Near the village
The quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
In the village
The quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
(Chorus)
Ingonyama ilele
Hush my darling
Don't cry my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling
Don't cry my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
He, ha helelemama
Ohi'mbube
(Chorus)
Ixesha lifikile
Lala
Lala kahle
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
(Repeat to fade)
