@forlikeforever This particular song is only in Zulu (except for that weird "hemna" bit, I dunno what that is), and TLK songs are mostly in Zulu, Sesotho or both. For example "King of Pride Rock" features both, and "One by One" from the stage show is all Zulu except for 2 words that are inexplicably in Xhosa. I have no clue why so many different languages are mixed together, either, but I personally enjoy hearing all these different South African languages. :)
@Cennetz24 My username comes from the song "Circle of Life", it is (grammatically incorrect) Zulu which means "here is a lion". And "bo" doesn't actually mean "ours" in Zulu. While "bo" is part of "theirs" in Zulu, grammatically the sentence is incomplete (it needs to be "busa leli zwe labo" - rule this land of theirs). To say "rule this land of ours" is "busa leli zwe lethu" . I believe "bo" is just a placeholder syllable, which there are lots of in TLK music. Thanks for the question! :)
When I was watching Disney's The Lion King, I didnt really understand it and now I do, the song really means something to me. I totally love it now, thanks for uploading it.
@Cennetz24 Glad you like the translation. I have tried thoroughly and repeatedly to find "hemna", "he mna" "hem na" "emna" and numerous other varients in not only Zulu, but also Sesotho, Swahili and Xhosa. If it is an actual word (I don't know that it is), it is not something that appears in my sources.
knowing Lebo M's work "Hemna" is probably just rythmic.

Is this song only in Zulu? I've read somewhere that LK songs were written in many languages. A mix of languages. Why they did that? I have no idea
