Lyrics of Hakuna matata

Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna matata!
Hem may'babo

When i was a cool young one
(when he was a cool young one)
I worked in the colony, paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
Diggin' holes, standin' guard 'till it crossed my mind

I was wrong
All along
All that i needed
Was to have heeded

Hakuna matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata!

When i was a shallow youth
(when he was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game, i saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still

Take my word
I have heard
All that i needed
Was to have heeded

Hakuna matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata!

Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna matata!
Hem may'babo

Hakuna matata!
I hope we have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worldly wise

Hakuna matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata! (x3)
