Jimmy Cliff – Hakuna Matata Lyrics

Artist: Jimmy Cliff
Song: Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata! (6x)
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
(CHORUS)

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
(CHORUS)

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

(CHORUS) (3x)
