==Lyrics==
Lionesses:
Fatshe leso lea halalela The land of our ancestors is holy
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Nala:
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride
Lionesses / Nala:
Pride Land / I have no choice
My land / I will find my way
Tear-stained / Lea halalela
Dry land
Take this / Take this prayer
With you / What lies out there
Fatshe leso / Lea halalela
Lionesses:
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
Rafiki:
Oh
(Fatshe leso lea halalela)
Wanatali n'suyeye bababo
Haya haya uo haya uo ayaba
N'guala lawagnata
(Fatshe leso lea halalela)
Ngiza haya za u'te
Nga di wagna ta usgnisibale
Ngere ciba seu, ngera ciba seu
Haya
Haya
Lionesses / Nala:
And where the journey may lead you / And where the journey may lead me
Let this prayer be your guide / Oh, the prayer will be my guide
Though it may take you so far away / Though it may take me so far away
Always remember your pride / I'll remember my pride
And where the journey may lead you / Ngiza buyabo, ngiza buyabo I will return
Let this prayer be your guide / I will return, I will return
Beso bo My people
Though it may take you so far away / Ngiza buyabo, I will return
Always remember your pride / Ngiza buyabo
Nala::
Oh, Ngiza buyabo
Beso bo, my people, beso bo
