Wee-oh aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight (hey, hey)

Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling
The lion sleeps tonight (ho, ho)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Whoa, whoa, aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
