- Jimmy Cliff - Lebo M - Hakuna Matata (Lion King Soundtrack)
Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Lyrics
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo
When I was a cool young one
(When he was a cool young one)
I worked in the colony, paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
Diggin' holes, standin' guard till it crossed my mind
I was wrong
All along
All that I needed
Was to have heeded
(Chorus)
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
When I was a shallow youth
(When he was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game, I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still
Take my word
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded
(Chorus)
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo
Hakuna Matata!
I hope we have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worldly wise
(Chorus)
Jimmy Cliff is an amazing artist!
Jimmy Cliff!!!...The most underrated reggae singer ever. Your the man, Jimmy.
Lebo M deserves more credit for his work on Lion King along with Tim Rice and Elton John
What about Jimmy Cliff?
I'm embarrassed to be South African I didn't even know he is the voice and co composer of the Opening Song on Lion King. Shame on me!!!!
Muzi Dube well he was probably bigger in the 90s or some earlier generation, so I wouldn’t feel too bad unless you were from the generation he was big in
Got it 👍.
I know. Voices rule. Xxxx
This is an absolute wonderful take of Hakuna Matata by some of the crew behind the music department of The Lion King, nothing against the main one used in the film, but I actually quite prefer this one the most!
I grew up listening to Jimmy,as a mexican in America, his records always made me fill with joy. Till this day will never forget.
As a white european i totally agree, they make me feel a happy kid again.
I play this song every Monday on my way to work to get my week started. Its a great pick me up...
Do you still listening every monday?
That's a brilliant idea!
This was my first cd as a kid, and this was my favorite song on the whole disk. Feels great to find and hear it again.
,ME TOO ! RIGHT ON , RIGHT ON !!
Gotta love that the first verse comes from Timon's cut lyrics from the original film. You can find storyboards of that cut scene with the exact lyrics, save for "cool young one" is "young meerkat." :)
Im amazed at how Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M voices blend together, can hardly differentiate as a longtime fan of the great Jimmy Cliff. And Im happy to discover Lebo M. Love the African vibes respect.
Remember watching the movie on VHS in the 90's finding this video after the credits. Then rewinded at least 265 times to listen to it again and again and again..
Jimmy Cliff was so amazing
Is it bad if I say I prefer this version over the original?
Or more people agree?
I'm with you! I like this version!
@@ericlimasweml77tvera Beru Beru feel the same way as you both
I think I'm neutral to this. This is obviously the pop version of the song like how many Disney Renaissance songs were covered by different artists and yet there's also the original version of the song!
Nope i love this 1 more 2
The film version is atrocious. I was surprised by how much I liked this version after going through all that pain
Jimmy Cliff & LeboM, takes me back💓🇯🇲🇿🇦
This has to be my favorite version of this song-- It's just so upbeat and awesome. I don't care how down you are listen to this and it'll bring you up!
i was born in 1990 and still love this song and listen in 2013 ,i had a wonderful childhood.i miss those days
2022 still banging this song in the car (born1991)
2024. Full of problems around me. Trying to put it all together. Listening to this and for a moment it doesn't look so bad
I'm sorry but I love this more than the original
this should have been in the remake in some capacity
Hey, I just found your comment somewhere under Doug Walker's video. That's actually how I got here
Me too🙏❤
Me , too , 😆
This is the original my friend 😂
I love the original movie 🎥
My my my....The best version, I love it the most. These guys have made lives of many a millions interesting and full of love .
Me too
i was born in 1996 and as kid i saw it a lot and i still think this is one of the best disney movies i am so glad i grew up with this generation disney movies the lion king forever
cette chanson met le coeur en joie même si les paroles sont tellement vraies. A écouter sans modération hakuna matata😍❤💞
Alive and Kicking - great song and such a strong powerful Voice !! Hang On, Cliff ( Hanger ) !!!
this is WONDERFUL!!! the amount of positive vibes spread by this song is just a-ma-zing.
long life to mother Africa :D
I still remember when as a kid letting the credits roll and to my surprise see this on the VHS :D
The best version!!!
Man, this song slaps more and more the older I get!
This was my childhood. The cassette in the car with my parents on vacation.
Esta musica me deixa tão feliz, tão otimista, com tanta vontade de fazer o bem a todo mundo.
Pós fazer que Deus nós abençoe hoje e sempre amém Neide Guedes graças a Deus ❤
Thanks Jimmy Cliff I scoured up and down to find this version. I heard it on the radio...Now I've got it!
Jimmy Cliff is singing about his own life and his philosophy.
Hakuna Matata for all of you around the world!!
So much energy in the artists, its contagious..
From Rhythm of the Pride Lands - "music inspired by The Lion King" I always assumed that was Lebo singing the main melody, but it's Jimmy Cliff. Cool!
I like this version of the song best.
You are alone in this.
its g reat
Me too, deffently not alone! =)
I hate how the novie version has huge gaps.
who doesn't?
what a piece of music... absolutely owesome... bass guitarist did an owesome job...
Jimmy Cliff is a genius. Reggae's greatest living icon.
So much better than the original! Good times in 1994 ❤️ memories ❤️
This might be a dumb question. Which one was the original version.?
@@davidruelle999 In the film itself.
Hakuna Matata!..What a wonderful Swahili Phrase!..Proud East African..✌🏿
Thanks 👍
De très bon souvenir, que je partage aujourd'hui avec mes enfants
I haven't heard this song in years, thank u to the uploader and keep up the good work too.
Ich bin seit zwei Jahren im Knast weil ich einen großen Fehler begangen habe und das Lied von Jimmy hilft mir über die Zeit hinweg! Das Lied ist Bombe!!! Thanks Jimmy von Rey aus Caracas / Venezuela
I know that feel... I was born 8 years later, now I'm 18 and Mufasa's death still beats the manly tears out of me D: And this song has the wisest lyrics I've ever heard... Hakuna Matata :)
wow, I'm surprised, didn't know it was Jimmy Cliff singing this. great artist
Mista9Lyiyon es ve
une si belle philosophie, qui sert pour les grands et petits.. J'adore!! merci
I love this version better than the other song
This version is better than the original
Ive listened to this song well over 10 times in the past week. Must. Download.
Oh what a pleasure to listen again this song with the great Jimmy Cliff! This great artist..
To see also again & again this GOOD film with sublime pictures... Lion King soundtrack..this is fabulous!!
Hakuna Matata: "it means no worries, for the rest of your days".. This philosophy is the best of philosophies, religions or best of quotations, no ?!?! ;)))
Thnx for this beautiful vdo & this great sharing..
Jimmy cliff is a worthy man to get selected to the rock and roll hall of fame whith song like this!
also all people who as the orginal lion king on VHS, this music video is on it. after the movies credits, found it when i was to lazy to rewind the tape :D
I remember seeing this video on the Disney Channel when The Lion King was a new movie. I ain't seen this video or heard this version of Hakuna Matata in many years. I love this song. And I love Timon and Pumbaa's philosophy as well. I try to live by it every day. Stress and worry stinks. Those two have the right idea.
two sides of different coins, Timon and Pumbaa teach you to relax and not let the world weigh you down with worries, but the other message was also to not turn on who you are or give up all responsibilities, because others that depend on you will suffer, and you may turn away from it completely or not or in the wise words of a crazy monkey, you can either run from your mistakes, or learn from them...
this sounds amazing
What a sweet voice Jimmy cliff ❤️❤️❤️
Childhood Nostalgia, with listening this on the 2002 Rerelease
Love the horns!
great vdo of walt disney!!! "wonderful phrase and philosophy for the rest of our days!!!" thanks!!!
Hakuna Matata. Jimmy Cliff, Lebo M, Disney
thank you for this work of Art :)
Omg this song is absolutely amazing...
I am 43 and still live it.......still love it!
What a amazing surprisingly psychedelic video
To begin my day... Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase....
How can you dislike this song ?
wonderful version..thank you for posting :D
Swahili language is just amazing.
Amazing movie and song♡♡♡ it brings back so many memories:-)
I can't say I prefer either version over the other. They're both great, I just think since I grew up hearing the Lion King version, it's more nostalgic. Love Jimmy Cliff though
WHY? do you find the original "great"? Why does this opinion even exist?
OH, these lyrics. They cheer me up every time! Hakuna Matata is basically my lifestyle... it even decorates my wall! :D
WOW! BY SIR ELTON JOHN!!!!!
Haven't heard or seen this in ages. Wow!!
