Circle Of Life- The Lion King (lyrics)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2011
- I haven't uploaded a video in a long time, and I felt like I needed to soon. I wasn't sure which Disney movie to start off with next, but with yesterday's release of The Lion King in 3D, I decided I would do The Lion King. This was always my favorite Disney movie as a child.
"One of the most popular Disney animated musicals, The Lion King presents the story of a lion cub's journey to adulthood and acceptance of his royal destiny. Simba begins life as an honored prince, the son of the powerful King Mufasa. The cub's happy childhood turns tragic when his evil uncle, Scar, murders Mufasa and drives Simba away from the kingdom. In exile, the young lion befriends the comically bumbling pair of Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the meerkat, he and lives a carefree jungle life. As he approaches adulthood, however, he is visited by the spirit of his father, who instructs him to defeat the nefarious Scar and reclaim his rightful throne."
Facts About: "Circle Of Life "
- The opening chant is in a language known as Zulu. It translates as: "Here comes a lion, Father / Oh yes, it's a lion / Here comes a lion, Father / Oh yes, it's a lion / A lion we're going to conquer / A lion a lion and a leopard come to this open place/"
- The song was composed by Elton John, and the lyrics were written by Tim Rice.
- Carmen Twillie sings the female vocals, and Lebo M. sings the opening chant.
- In 1994, "Circle Of Life" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song and won.
- "Circle Of Life" reached #11 in the UK and #18 in the US.

Disney made the single most epic intro to a movie ever.
Actually it was Hans Zimmer ! Saw him live yesterday in Germany and it was unbelievable. This man is a genius. Epic!

+Msfeelgood was actually Elton John who wrote this score
Joey Fredrickson true
All I’ve ever heard is
NAAAAAAA SAVENYAAAAA BABA BEECHEE BABA
Omg me too hahaa
Its nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Yes in the beginning part
I don't think many people get it right... for me it was: AAAH cigüeña~ babari barara
Same lol
All the dislikes are the innocent cats that have been lifted up like simba by their owners 😂
Lola Lovric and babies too lol
And doggos
Guess my name yass
Lavah Style Caribbean lol 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun Fact: The whole entire Circle of Life sequence was used as the movie’s trailer.
That’s how awesome it was.
Got a link for this.
THts crazy I never knew this ❤
im so glad i wasnt the only one singing with the wrong lyrics in my whole childhood
I was most certainly
Everyday
Considering it’s Swahili(I believe) I don’t blame anyone
Hahaha
Zulu
When I was little I would say “YAAAAA PENNSYLVANIA” And my parents thought it would be funny to not correct me until I was 12
I used to say AAA SIVANYA A BABITSIBABA
Its our language..originally a south african language
Me atibania

Everyone has there own version to the begining of this song

Future generations will NEVER understand how iconic this was.
*laughs in Disney+*
uhh... yeah they will. lol its called the internet lol
I agree with you 100% Kayla Grace
@@ludexia5338 if they did oh no 👊👊

Must be deaf 😂😂 sorry

That's a beautiful idea
Now I want to do this too 🥺
Whats the point?
Ok now that you said this I wanna do this to
@@MoufasaMan there’s none, because it’s a circle………. Of lifeeeeeeee

I told my sis when I'm older and I have a son, I'm gonna do that
that's what I did to my nephew 😂😂😂
I do that with my cat!!
anytime I lift anyone "IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIFFE!!"
AlexTehFangirl me 2
Before I die, I need to know how to say the first lyrics.
🤣🤣🤣
I know it I'm doing it for chorus
That is the language iSiZulu
it’s pronounced nah-si-gon-ya mah-bah-kee-ti-baba
Hahahah lol 😂
The very first word of lyrics : *Nants*
What we all literally heard : *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
2:42 THE ADORABLE SNEEZE😢🥺!!!!!!!!
Best introduction to any movie, it's not up for question this is the best movie introduction of all time
that's rigth! i listened it when i was a child in Spanish but now i listened it in english and really liked it too!!!
It truly is the king of introductions.
I'll agree with you--one of the top three intros in movie history. The other two, IMHO, are "Citizen Kane" (1941) and "The Godfather" (1971). And then this, the "Lion King" (1994). It just sets the themes of the movie so well. But unlike the other two movies, the song is what really carries the intro. Though "The Godfather" has an amazing intro that is understated but sears itself in your memory--"I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion." Great, great intro. Honorable mention for greatest intro in movie history--"Trainspotting" (1996).
8ok,I

The real translation of the very beginning actually translates to,"look at this lion, this is a lion, see I have a lion, yes this is a lion"
+sailorsun
XD wow nice job Disney
+sailorsun Literally how I talk when I pick up my cat. Look at this cat, it's a cat, I have a cat, yes this is a cat.
I have a lot in common with Rafiki apparantly.
sailorsun Actually it's here comes the lion lol

Hi
Meh tooooo 😂 the harder step is not getting it but telling this to your friends😂
Same
Me too
Courtney Galloway Hey! I have no idea how I’m only seeing these likes & comments now, sorry 🤭
The people who disliked this song clearly didn't have a childhood
Exactly
100 % ☝️👌🏻
Or maybe because the opening lyrics didn't match up with their version 🤣
ooooooh
Let’s be nice y’all lol
😂
It's been 28 years since this movie was released and this still will never get old. A true classic 💓
Stolen from Shakespeare.
Nostalgia hits harder than ever, not only was my dad born in Tanzania and I was born in Uganda, but Brings me back to when I came to America and used to go over to my grandma (mom’s side of the family) and grandpa’s house, as kids, we’d stay the night or something like that, while mom went to work and we’d turn on Lion King, we’d watch it over what seemed to be a billion times.
Those were the good old days.
To be born into such a beautiful culture, you must be very proud😊😊 sending love and peace to you!
@@MPWEST83 yes I am glad I could see such a beautiful world and culture, i hope one day I can go back and visit, thanks
@@MPWEST83are you not proud to be American? I sure am and we have a lot to be proud of here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@inkwolfartandbuildingstudi3223proud to have you as a fellow American!!
@@MplsMaven same to you, god bless the red white and blue 🇺🇸

I wish this was Oscar Winning Song instead of Can You Feel The Love Tonight who agreed with me?
The film version. Not Elton John's version.
Me
@@michaelacarty850 No Elton John's version won Elton John an Oscar for his version of Can u feel the love tonight
And the Circle of life deserve an Oscar
Nah just give them both
The most powerful non-villain song in Disney history
Agreed, But I feel like Be a Man from Mulan would be a close second.
I’ve been obsessed with this movie and song forever. Listening to it as an adult you realize how beautiful it is though. My fiancé and I are doing a Disney themed wedding and I’m walking down the isle playing this song.
Sounds so beautiful and magical 😍🥰
Did you ever get married & use this song?
@@Cannamom420Mimi We absolutely did get married and use this song
At what time stamp did you start walking down?

Truly a timeless classic
Filly reports yep! 💙😊

Elton: “Yes”
Kate: “We need you to sing The Circle of Life”
Elton: “Why this child in particular?”
Kate: “He’s a king”
Elton: *”And I was king of my sand castle as a child. People are born and die all the time. It’s just the Circle of Life”*
I grabbed my 1 month old baby and pretended to be him Simba... my 6 and 7 years old boys knew right away what I was trying to do... they seemed so happy.

True friend there ahhaha
XD I'm dying cause of this 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
This is probably my favourite comment I have ever seen
What a glorious day that would have been
LMAOOOO😂😂
This has been stuck in my head for days.
i need english subtiles on this shit
The Universe is Talking to you through this song, So many positive messages in it's Lyrics that can help ones life
this song always give me chills
This is still one of the most beautiful opening scenes to a movie I’ve ever seen
Hands down the most iconic intro song to a movie made. Classic!
Whenever I have kids and they refuse to get up in the morning, I'm going to play this song as loud as I can on the stereo.
I love the theme of the song. It may seem heartless to some degree. However when you look at the circle of real life it gives a better understanding or how we evolve. Life is short and we need to love as well as fulfill our divine destiny.
This is the only song that will make everyone in my family stop what they're doing and listen. We're like the animals in the opening, head up, looking in the direction of the song and if the opening is playing on TV we will all move to it and watch.
Me: sleeping. My sister singing in the middle of the night sister:NANTS INGONYAMA BAGITHI BABA
I called my friend: Hey Nancy Venia
she answered: MABAGHITIBABABA
Hahhahahahaa
Lol
That's cool.
The best intro song in movie history...bar none
The Lion King has one of the best openings!!! The animation is so beautiful and the song Circle of life is amazing and the scene where Rafiki holds Simba is so memorable!!! 😍
This song and "He lives in you" are the only songs that can make me tear up
This song did and always will give me chills! I can't wait to watch the new movie this week!!😊😍
Never gets old. Never gets forgotten and that's the circle of life
This song is so good that it still gives me chills when I watch the movie and see the sun rising and hear the iconic words.
We’ve all had this (more than) one time where we sang the start of this song with the anxiety of someone coming up to us and telling us we’re not singing it right
True
You are the best person ever for uploading the lyrics of my fondest childhood memory. The Lion King is my most favourite movie of all time. If I had to choose only one movie to ever watch for the rest of my life, it be that.
Kevster012 jungle book is better but tht is without a doubt the best opening tune to any film to date
Ya, I like The Jungle Book as well, I just like The Lion King more, but that is just my opinion.
lol
the circle of life is the best song ever
I can literally Taste my Childhood in this song!
0:22 That pop while chanting always catches me.
most beautiful song ever
Screw Frozen! Lion King is fucking awesome!!
Rawan Uchiha if you notice the intro song to frozen slounds like it belongs in lion king
frozen is WAY over rated I didn't enjoy it at all, but just listening to lion king songs makes me want to cry
Frozen was the worst fucking movie in the world.
Cesar Melendez ur fucking crazy. Frozen is TRASH compared to Lion King.
Cesar Melendez the lion king is a masterpiece that can't be recreated, frozen is just like every other princess, skinny, beautiful, and perfect, it can be recreated. My point is The lion king teaches us more than, we have to be pretty and slim. So lion king wins sorry!
0:01: me when I rub hand sanitiser over a cut I never knew existed
Ow that hurts
Same!
I get goosebumps every time 😭😭❤️

I think I will use this a my ringtone 😂😂😂

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! SAAAAAVVVVEEENNYYYAAA!!!!!
I'm using the opening lyrics for a baby shower card. :)
This is my alarm for the morning 4 time before. I get out off bed
Upvote if you found a cat and held it up in the air after watching this movie when you were a kid.
I haven't but now I want to, so I will.

My six week old was crying non-stop until I put on this video... She's now falling asleep.
Especially the first sequence touches my soul.
The lion king has always been my most favorite Disney movie
Almost 25 years later and this has not lost its charm ...
I’m taking part in a play and I’m
Singing this song solo so this is helping a lot!
Cool!
How did it go?
Every fucking time --- the intro always makes me cry..
Am I alone?
I cry every time. It's the words, the music, the thoughts that follow the words and music. Seeing a LIVE production....I can't explain it. Waterfalls!!!!!!! Tears of understanding and peace.
My best friend Anne Marie and I went and saw this in the theater when it first opened, and I became obsessed with the movie and songs. Anne Marie had the soundtrack on audio tape and gave it to me and I swear I listened to that tape over and over and over. I even had every single trading card made by Skybox. I wish I still had those! To this day whenever I hear the intro, it gives me chills and put tears in my eyes.
I literally have to learn this, this is the song im dancing to for my school show
I yearn at my age to go to a cinema and be absolutely bewildered by the music of a movie.
Back then…. The music in Disney was just epic. I can’t imagine being in a cinema and this plays with all the instruments and African choir in your ears in surround system. Must’ve been such an epic time.
The fact that Hans Zimmer without fail adds culture to the score of the movie. Whether it was lion king in Africa or Prince of Egypt in Egypt, representation was always there
Thanks for the existential crisis but also excitement that I have so much I can do with my short life.
Everyone: AAAAAHHHHHHH SAVENYAAAAAAHHHH
What it actually is: Nants Ingonyama
I'm not crying, you are. 😭❤✨
A Masterpiece Song That Opens A Masterpiece Movie!
This is art in its highest form. 🦁
The feels..... tears........
my father was the one that first showed me this lion king movie and he told me everything about this movie when i was just a small little kid🥺 even though i didn't really understand what this movie is about but he still wanted to tell me and he's in a better place now, im 21 and i miss him so much🥺
Stfu
@@diegobertelli3680 aww i think it's you should stfu, than commenting on my comment and telling me to stfu lmao life must be hard for you but it's ok be strong😅
All the songs in the lion king in love including the ending one cos that one gives me butterflies
I never get tired of this film and all other classic Disney films
How it reminds me of beautiful memories! I've always loved this song
love this! Definitely a classic that will stand the test of time
By far my favorite disney movie watched it in theaters when i was 15. It would be the last animated movie i would watch in theaters. Still makes me cry 25 years later at 40..
Ahhhhh pneumoniaaaa!
WTF. 156 people to-date disliked this ??? Clearly, a lot don't know what quality music is.
Wish I could lift 'em up like Simba and then effing drop em. lol. 😂😂😂

Is google translate cursed?!
Google translate isn't your friend
Google translate is probably cursed
It's in Zulu, not Swahili
