[misteryhorse]

i love this song

[twinkygirlie]

Thank you very much for posting this vid and even more thanks for the translation!! I've searched for ever to find the translation and now i finally have it :D

[Cennetz24]

Fon O.o where is that spoken?

Btw great version :D

[mariutunio]

@Cennetz24

Fon is a language in southern and middle Benin

[winnalex1986]

sorry but the lyrics are definitely not right. Here are the lyrics in fon langage which also my native langage.

1- ayiho nan hon bô nan toun dô gbeme do sousou lo

2- akon kpikpan déa dohô zéwé sou gbêwê biômon

3- mantintô lè do kpô ha mi do gbêmin fi la

4- akon kpikpan déa dohô zéwé sou gbêwê biômon

5- gnin kpo hwê kpo do kpô nou dé man nan hin mi gblé

6- akon kpikpan déa dohô zéwé sou gbêwê biômon

[misteryhorse]

i love this version

[misteryhorse]

is beautiful



[QT8425]

this is the original one？

[DimbalaH]

@QT8425 No this is a reprise !

[bigtymeo]

No matter the race, tribe, ethnicity or colour; we are one because we all breathe the same air.

[gbemevivi]

i hardly love kidjo ,angelique since my childhood and i was pretty sure of her success even though our people were mocking her in her beginnings.

now,she is simply an amazing voice,a great dancer,very full of talent and a great multilanguage speaking smart lady.big big up kidjo

[katamari117]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

[thisishowwelove]

Oh my God like why am I crying right now? I totally forgot that this was a song from a kid's movie. Wow, beautiful beautiful version.

[blondie6990]

@thisishowwelove omg me too me too

[Cbrookins1990]

Have officially raped this song! Can't stop listening to it I love it!

[myuzeefreak]

I love how out of the more than 2000 languages in Africa people always jump to either Swahili or Zulu...if you don't know, don't make assumptions. Just ask. Swahili is spoken in East Africa. Zulu is spoken in some parts of Southern Africa. Angelique is from Benin, which is in WEST Africa.

Anywayz, beautiful song:)

[evilgalore]

Haven't heard this version in 2 years, very good, and its a great version

[fmghis]

This version is better than the other ones I have listened to...I wish I understood what she was saying though :-S

[mariutunio]

@fmghis

description is your friend

[winnalex1986]

@fmghis

1- the day shall soon break and i'll know that the world evolve

2- your endurance or courage makes you great and it's life's demand

3- those that are gone are still with us trhoughout our life journey

4- your endurance or courage makes you great and it's life's demand

5- if you and i stick together (or are united) nothing would separate us

6- your endurance or courage makes you great and it's life's demand

I hope this will help coz my english is not that good.

[twinkygirlie]

@winnalex1986 So cool that you speak that! It's a beautiful language. I listened this so very much but I never found out what language it was. btw you're English is not wrong at all :) I guess you speak better English than me ;)

[Sesil1991]

@winnalex1986 are these the parts where she sings in only fon? or are they the areas where she says them in the 2 lines? throughout the song?

[winnalex1986]

@Sesil1991

This is the translation of the parts where she sings in fon. in fact people think she's saying the same things as in the original version. But some parts in fon differs from it.

[ChanChan4Lifee]

When i was in 7th grade my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer...this was our song from when i was a young child...i play it everyday in remembrance. I LOVE YOU DADDY!

[mlcoolk1]

This is beautiful and just goes to show that not ALL songs have to be sung in English in order for us to enjoy it despite the fact that we don't understand what is being said. I listen to Yo-Yo Ma and don't know one bit of Chinese (or whatever language he speaks or uses in his songs), but I sure do love the beauty of and within his music.

[lordofzeapes]

elle est bonne ma soupe! elle est bonne! putain plus commercial que ça tu meurs, c'est sirupeux et mièvre, beurk!

[sendagire]

My 7 year old son asks muc h about the song he is like "what are those words which not in English "

[evilgalore]

@sendagire Oh if you listen to the Lion King orrigional version, this song is the same, but some parts are in foregion. Learn the Lion King lyrics, and then listen to this, and any parts missed out are the foreigon parts, they are just the same, or look in the vids description there is translation.

[winnalex1986]

@sendagire now you have the real meaning of those words and the right lyrics

[mylifeits]

ang sang this *neb

[LucidSpore]

I wish i could find the lyrics in the language she is speaking. All the ones i find are just translated into english, which is pretty dumb when i can just look ENGLISH lyrics up. So if anyone can spell it out if you know, or have a link to the lyrics with both that would be lovely. This song is pure =]

[msayofemi1]

@LucidSpore the language is FON (fongbe)

[msayofemi1]

@LucidSpore ayona iwo gbona houn lobwe me nga sousou lwo is the first line

[LucidSpore]

@msayofemi1 Alrighty thank you very much exactly what i was looking for =]

[origamipein18]

That was incredible!: )

[Leopardenschatten]

what is the other language she sing?

English and ....?

[mariutunio]

@Leopardenschatten

it's Fon

language from southern Benin

[Leopardenschatten]

@mariutunio Thank you.

[msayofemi1]

@mariutunio just pointing out not to be offensef but the fon is nto only from southern benin its the majority ethnic group in benin

[mariutunio]

@msayofemi1

ah okay then I didn't know

[msayofemi1]

@msayofemi1 jsut asking what happend to the lyrics i posted they dissapered? is that normal

[mariutunio]

@msayofemi1

honestly I have no idea

it was marked as spam and I unmarked it

I don't know why this comment disappeared

[Linnea259]

She does this song sooooooooo fucking wonderful! :')

[sasquash12]

It's ironic because Disney hates blacks.

[ihaneyi9]

@sasquash12 Black or white, you just can't ignore pure BEAUTY!

[Tonymontee]

Angelic Angelique......my sister from another Mother. You are a natural African woman. This song should have been played or be the theme of the ongoing FIFA world cup in SA and other int'l event. Peace to the world.

[MsAyofemi]

im thinking its swahili the accent bends to the swahili side so im saying swahili zulu has that more of a hmm i dont know how to put it

[TheRadnaf]

@MsAyofemi

nope .It's from Benin. the language is FOn

[robindesbois07]

Hey Kidjo,you are genius!!! Keep it up..You are making africa proud!

[dragas2]

[willc2k]

I thought so too. Any idea where the original video is?

[ena1rume]

[childoflove]

Does anyone have the untranslated lyrics of this?

[waitingfor2008]

Thanks for uploading. This is a much better version than the one in the film. ^^

[willc2k]

I think so too. Lion King (one of the greatest animation) was one of the first movies I watched at the theatre when I was a kid. Memories...

[raphaellover]

i wish the lyrics were here i want to sing it for oscars but the lyrics on this one website are messed up and well they are different from the song. well thanks i enjoyed the movie
