In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
(Chorus)
Imbube
Ingonyama ifile [The lion's in peace]
Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps]
Thula [Hush]
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
(Chorus)
Ingonyama ilele (The lion sleeps)
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
He, ha helelemama [He, ha helelemama]
Ohi'mbube [lion]
(Chorus)
Ixesha lifikile [Time has come]
Lala [Sleep]
Lala kahle [Sleep well]
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
(Chorus)
My little darling
Don't fear my little darling
My little darling
Don't fear my little darling
Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps]
The song "Sleep" by I.M.M. is a rendition of the iconic song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which was originally written in Zulu as "Mbube" by a South African musician named Solomon Linda. The lyrics of the song essentially describe how the lion sleeps peacefully in the jungle while the villagers in nearby villages enjoy their peaceful lives. The word "lala kahle" which means "sleep well" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of rest and peace.
The chorus of the song features the repeated line "Ingonyama ilele," which translates to "The lion sleeps." This line is meant to emphasize the overarching theme of the song, which is the peaceful coexistence of humans and animals in their respective habitats. The word "thula" which means "hush" is also used to calm any fears that the listener may have about the lion's presence in the village.
The song is not only a delightful and catchy tune but also carries a significant cultural and historical significance. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" song traveled from South Africa to New York in the hands of the Weavers, and the 1961 version by The Tokens became a worldwide hit. However, despite its commercial success, the song's original composer, Solomon Linda, received none of the royalties for the song until years later when his estate fought for his rights.

No One Star
I resonate. :( And... I sincerely hope that these words bring you solace, joy, understanding, hope, or better yet: Reflection.
------------
"Before I start, I must see my end.
Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
Upon my chariot, heart and soul’s fate revealed:
In time, all points converge, hope’s strength re-steeled.
But to earn final peace at the universe’s endless refrain,
We must see all in nothingness... before we start again."
------------
-- 'Diamond Dragons' (book I)
No One Star
Staying in bed indefinitely sounds pretty good at this point. Despite the work I've been trying to accomplish.

@Samantha Lopez trust me, I get it. During my most recent concert at the last school year during spring, the trumpets were like THIS LOUD and I couldn’t even hear myself.
My besties and I were trying not to laugh at that, like, my flute friend and I were giggling while my percussion friend was full on DYING because of how loud it was.
And they had pretty small parts of the songs too so it was normal song and then 🎺BFFZT🎺 and then normal song CONSTANTLY.
