Hakuna Matata

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, 'til it crossed my mind

I was wrong

All along

All that I needed

Was to have heeded

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 our 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

Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata

Ain’t no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

(No, no)

It’s our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

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!

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 our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Ah, what a wonderful phrase

Yeah

Hakuna Matata

Ain’t no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Yes!

It’s our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

Whoa now

What a wonderful phrase

Yes!

Hakuna Matata

Ain’t no passing craze

It means no worries

(No worries!)

For the rest of your days

It’s our problem-free philosophy
