THE LION KING/ The book of the movie 1994

Simba the new king

{Rain opens up and douses the fire. Simba comes down and greets his mother and Nala. Rafiki motions for Simba to ascend Pride Rock as king. Simba starts up and pauses to hug Rafiki as his father did.}

Zazu: Your majesty.

Rafiki: It is time.

{Very majestically, he ascends through the rain. Music is strong. Through a hole in the clouds we can see a patch of stars. One bright star shines out briefly.}

Mufasa: Remember . . .

{Simba's expression gains confidence and strength. He roars. The lionesses roar in reply. Time switch to the savannah in full bloom again. Cue "Busa" theme:}

BS: Busa le lizwe

Busa le lizwe

Busa le lizwe

Bus-busa ngo xolo

{Obscured verse}

MS: Se-fi-le

Baba ti-tabo

Maye babo

Busa lomhlaba

BS: {Obscured verse}

MS: He!

Se-fi-le

Busa Simba! Busa Simba!

Ubuse ngo xolo

Ubuse ngo thando

Ubuse ngo xolo

Ubuse ngo thando

Ubuse ngo xolo

{Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, and Nala are on Pride Rock. Zazu flies up to the point. Timon, of course, is shaking his arms in the classic victory sign. All the groups of herds are there and making noise as in the presentation of Simba.}

BS: Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

MS: (ngw' enamabala-wa)

Full Chorus: Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Circle of... Liiife

{Rafiki appears, holding Kiara. He lifts her to present her to the crowd. Bass drum hit and black out to title in red lettering as in the beginning. The Circle is completed.}
