What do they sing at the beginning of "Circle of Life"?
I am listening to Disney's Greatest Hits volume 1. It just occured to me I have no idea what they sing at the beginning of the song, what language is it? If I knew the language I could use babelfish to try and translate some of it.
So, anyone know what the song translates into?

Sinple Google Search on "Circle of Life" Lyrics reveals...
Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]
[Chant repeats]
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

For some reason, I recall being told that it was Swahili. I could be wrong though.

Our family always sings "Oh, potato. Won't you give me some more. Give me more, give me more potatoes." Guess I need to teach the boys some Zulu. Although I think our lyrics are a lot snappier!

It always sounded like, "Hingmanjana hingmamannajaja" to me.
Of course, that absurd because that's gibberish, which I knew, but I was never motivated enough to figure out what it actually was.

Circle of Life Intro
When I worked at Disney, all the cast memebers used to sing:
"Pink Pajamas, Wearing Pink Pajamas
Pink Pajamas, Wearing Pink Pajamas"
And it continued for QUITE a long time, but I won't go into that here.
