The Lion King - Lioness Hunt (LYRICS & TRANSLATIONS)

Written By Nantsingonyama on Monday, Aug 08, 2011 | 10:04 AM

 
One of my favourite numbers from The Lion King on Broadway, The Lioness Hunt. Full lyrics on-screen, with my own original translations of the isiZulu lyrics. And for fun, some isiZulu vocabulary used in the song: :) *Baba - father *Zingela - hunt *Siyozingela - we are going to go hunting. Zulu verbs are made up of multiple parts that in English we express with different words. There is the subject concord which indicates the subject of the sentence (Si - we), a tense marker which indicates when this action happens (yo - future tense, are going to) and a verb root (zingela - hunt). *Thatha - take, keep *Uye - go toward [it] *Ukunqoba - victory, to win Credits: the Lion King belongs to Disney. Song by Lebo M. Lyrics transcription and translation by me (thanks to isiZulu.net for being a fabulous resource). African font by Manfred Klein. I can't remember where I got the grass Photoshop brush, if anyone knows who I should credit please tell me. :)
