Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hem may'babo

Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata

[Verse 1]
When I was a cool young one
(When he was a cool young one)
I worked in the colony
Paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
Diggin' holes, standin' guard, 'til it crossed my mind
I was wrong
All along
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

[Chorus]
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Verse 2]
When I was a shallow youth
(When he was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game
I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still
Take my word
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

[Chorus]
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
(No, no)
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Bridge]
Hakuna Matata
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata
Hem may'babo

Hakuna Matata!
I hope we have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worldly wise!

[Chorus]
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata
Ah, what a wonderful phrase
Yeah
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Yes!
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Whoa now
What a wonderful phrase
Yes!
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
(No worries!)
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
