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 one 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

Hakuna matata, Hakuna matata

Hem hollolo iyo

Hakuna matata, 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

It ain't no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's a problem-free philosophy

Hakuna matata

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's a problem-free philosophy

Hakuna matata

It means no worries (no worry)

For the rest of your days

It's a problem-free philosophy
