Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Night and the spirit of life calling
Oh, oh, iyo, mamela
And the voice with the fear of a child answers
Iyo iyo, mamela
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers
Iyo mamela

Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

Ingonyama nengw' enamabale
Ingonyama nengw' enamabale

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

He lives in you, oh yeah, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives, he lives, he lives, he lives in you




He lives, he lives, he lives in you
He watches over everything we see

Overall Meaning

The song "He Lives in You" is a deeply spiritual song that features in Disney's animated film, "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride." This song is performed during the montage sequence in the movie as Rafiki is presenting Simba's newborn daughter to the Pride Lands. The song capitalizes on the African rhythm and language to talk about the cyclical aspects of life, especially the transgenerational message of holding onto one's legacy, traditions, and culture.


The song begins with a Swahili phrase, "Ingonyama nengw' enamabala" meaning "a lion and a leopard come to this open place." The phrase is a reference to the opening scene of The Lion King, where animals from all parts of the Pride Lands come to honor their new King. The chorus then moves on to talk about the spirit of life and the voice that calls out, urging individuals to listen.


The lyrics then assert the importance of faith and self-belief in overcoming obstacles. The phrase "Wait, there's no mountain too great, hear these words and have faith" sings to the idea that faith can move mountains. The next verse maintains the African theme, and the lyrics talk about how the spirit, the essence of a legacy, lives on through generations, and in this case, in Simba's heirs.


The song concludes with a powerful chorus, emphasizing how the spirit lives in everything and everyone, irrespective of their form. The refrain "He lives in you" repeats through the song, bringing to light the connective and unifying force of spirits that live in every being.
