Tangu siku sisi kufika katika dunia
Na blinking, hatua katika jua
Kuna zaidi ya kuona kuliko unaweza milele kuonekana
Zaidi ya kufanya ila anayeweza kufanywa
(From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done)

Kuna mno kuchukua katika hapa
Zaidi kupata kuliko hayawezi kupatikana
Lakini jua rolling juu
Njia ya anga yakuti
Anaendelea kubwa na ndogo juu ya pande zote kutokuwa na mwisho
(There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round)

Ni mzunguko wa maisha
Na ni hatua sisi wote
Kupitia kukata tamaa na matumaini
Kupitia imani na upendo
(It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love)

Hata na sisi kupata nafasi yetu
juu ya kujifungua kwa kamba njia
katika mzunguko
mzunguko wa maisha
(Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life)

Ni mzunguko wa maisha
Na ni hatua sisi wote
Kupitia kukata tamaa na matumaini
Kupitia imani na upendo
(It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love)

Hata na sisi kupata nafasi yetu
juu ya kujifungua kwa kamba njia
katika mzunguko
mzunguko wa maisha
(Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life)
