Rafiki Mourns-The Lion King Broadway(lyrics)

Madi ao[Spilled blood]
Leka sebete chia ho oele sebatha[Try courage so the beasts may fall]
Mo leka qeme o tsaba hoa[Those who defy mountains are, in truth, cowards]
Lebo haleng ha o bue ka le ha[Even in anger, you do not speak against wrong...]
Lebo haleng ha o bue ka le ha

Oh, oh

Halala humba heh heh heya heeyahee
Halala humba hela hela hela
Halala humba heh heh heya heeyahee
Halala humba hela hela hela

Halala humba heh heh heya heeyahee
Halala humba hela hela hela
Halala humba heh heh heya heeyahee
Halala humba hela hela hela
(Repeat)

This is one of the most powerful songs of this Musical (followed by close seconds, of course) and she performed it beautifully when I saw the show!

She says leka, not the "n" word

I hated that when I saw this I was crying because of before and my friends were trying not to laugh. This is emotional just hearing this, it's a song of grief and it's flawless. Nothing laughable here...

Ok so many people way say this sounds bad. They may say it sounds annoying or falt or that she cannot sing. If you listen to traditional African music, which this is supposed to be like, then you will realize that African music sounds like this. It is not about sounding good. It is about expressing your emotions which she beautifuly did in this. She poured her heart into this and it is done in an amazing way. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Like if you agree!
