The opening lyrics to "The Lion King" theme song, sung in Zulu by composer Lebo M., have gone viral after a recent podcast translation revealed the line "Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba" roughly means "Look! There is a lion! Oh my God!" rather than the profound meaning many fans had assumed. The revelation prompted widespread social media responses from viewers surprised by the literal translation of the iconic 1994 Disney film's most memorable sequence.
