Lion King belongs to Disney

This was a request ^^ The woman singing sure sounds Beautiful. I love her deep, bright voice. Yet, the way she sings is just incredible o.O She manages to avoid pronouncing almost all the -r and many other letters :P Makes it sound a bit weird to the foreign ear when they read along and think that Icelandic just doesn't pronounce this and that letter.
I also like the lyrics. Too much -s sounds though for my taste, because it shouldn't be so in a soft love songs. AVOID THE -S! But, still, the lyrics are sweet ^^
Note: Castle Mountain is NOT the Icelandic name for Pride Rocks, that is Ljósuklettar. Castle Mountain is just a word which describes what kind of rocks Pride Rocks are. Just take a look at this picture for comparison:
