Ndabe zitha
Nkosi yethu
Mholi wezwe lethu

Lefatshe la bonata rona
Lea halalela

Busa le lizwe bo
Busa le lizwe bo
Busa le lizwe bo
Lethu busa ngoxolo
Is'khathi sifikile
Is'khathi busa iyo
Is'khathi sifikile (Mayo babo)
Busa lomhlaba

Is'khathi sifikile
Is'khathi sifikile
Busa Simba
Busa Simba

Ubuse ngo xolo
Ubuse ngo thando
Ubuse ngo xolo
Ubuse ngo thando
Ubuse ngo xolo
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
Circle of Life
