A family lived close to the jungle

At the end of the day they all sit together around the fire

They have their supper and relax and talk a little

The youngest boy becomes afraid

He hears all the sounds of the wild animals in the forest

Cheetahs wolves jackals and lions

He starts crying at the darkness

And wild sounds that fill him with fear

Then his mother takes him in her arms

And sings to him

The family is always strong together

They protect one another

Grandparents his father and mother

Uncles aunts cousins brothers and sisters

They all join and sing together

Soon he falls asleep only the beautiful song fills his ears

Mbube

In the jungle the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Hush my baby don't fear my darling

The lion sleeps tonight

Hush my baby don't fear my darling

The lion sleeps tonight

Mbube

In the jungle the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Hush my baby don't fear my darling

The lion sleeps tonight
