Au matin de ta vie sur la planète
Ébloui par le dieu soleil
À l'infini, tu t'éveilles aux merveilles
De la terre, qui t'attend et t'appelle
Tu auras tant de choses à voir
Pour franchir la frontière du savoir
Recueillir l'héritage
Qui vient du fond des âges
Dans l'harmonie d'une chaîne d'amour
C'est l'histoire de la vie

The lyrics of L'histoire de la Vie, also known as the Circle of Life, speak about the beginning of life on the planet and the never-ending cycle of birth and death. The phrase "Ingonyama bagithi baba" is Zulu for "Here comes a lion, father". The song is sung in a call and response style between Rafiki, the wise baboon, and the animal kingdom in the Pride Lands. The opening lyrics are a signal for all the animals to gather at Pride Rock to see Simba, the newly born heir to the throne. The song speaks of the majesty of the animal kingdom and the importance of living in harmony with nature.
The second verse speaks about the journey of life and how it is filled with wonder and discovery. The lyrics tell us that we should embrace our heritage and learn from the wisdom of our ancestors to attain knowledge and understanding. The song emphasizes the importance of unity and the power of love to connect us all.
