[Vocals Only]
Ooooooh Naaaaaan!
Naaaaaaaan Tsigwenya! Maba kithi baba. Tsiki hmm, wenyama.
Naaaaaaaan Tsigwenya! Maba kithi baba. Tsiki hmm, wenyama.
Oh, one by one.
[Tune of Dig a Tunna picks up, core hand drums and lead vocal only]
[Zulu chant beat is slightly different, little more stress on the “ing” syllable]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by one.
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by one.
[Pause for a beat, then different vocal]
By two.
[Back to previous drum-lead vocal]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by one.
[Different vocals (two voices)]
By two, by three.
[Back to previous drum-lead vocal. Key change up.]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by-
[Different vocal (solo, rap tone)]
One, two, three, four!
[Descending tone sequence from the initial shot of the meerkats tunneling straight down (Dig a Tunna)]
[Chorus]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by one.
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Oh, one by one.
[Chorus chant keeps up, lead vocal comes in, same lilt and rhythm as the chorus]
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
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
[Switch lead vocal, key change up.]
[Chorus chant switches to background chant from the "He Lives in You" chorus.]
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
But you'll see every day
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun
All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need
You will find when you see
We are one
One by one!
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ooooooooh…
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling (Oh, oh, iyo)
Mamela (Oh, oh, iyo)
And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers (Oh, oh, iyo)
Oh, mamela (Oh, oh, iyo)
Ubukhosi bo khokho
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke
Wait (…..wait…..wait…..wait…..wait…..)
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life!
He lives in you!
One by one. We are one!
