-Mufasa har aldrig ville gi' jagten fri på Kongesletten. Når jeg bli'r konge vil mit folk frit ku' ta' for sig af retterne. For en hyænes mave bli'r aldrig fuld.
Mufasa never would set free the hunt in the Pride lands. When I become king my people will be free to help themselves to the dishes. Because a hyena's stomach will never be full.
-Mufasa er for stærk til at vi ka' udfordre ham.
-Mufasa is too strong for us to challenge him.
Mufasa er gårsdagens leder, helt udslidt, hans tid er forbi
Mufasa is the leader of yesterday, all worn out, his time is over
Hans svigt var at helt nye tider
His fail foreshadows brand new times1
En ny drøm I kan se jer selv i
A new dream you can picture yourselves in
Se løvernes liv er i opbrud
You see, the lions' life is breaking up
Hyæner, hør godt efter her
Hyenas, listen carefully here
Alt ændres når jeg indta'r scenen
All will be changed when I take over the stage
Der' osse en rolle til jer
There's also a part for you
Så gør jer klar til århundredes magtkamp
So make yourselves ready for the power struggle of the century
Gør jer rede til højforræderi
Make yourselves ready for high treason
Usynlige lænker
Invisible chains
De snedigste rænker
The most cunning schemes
Jeg planlæg' fra bunden
Yes, plan from scratch
Deri ligger grunden
Therein lies the reason
Til at jeg griber magten
For me to seize the power
Får æren og agten
Gain the honour and esteem
Og endelig får vist mit geni!
And finally will have shown my genius!
Der' bid i de planer jeg har
There's a catch in the plans I've got
Gør jer klar
Make yourselves ready
Gør jer klar
Make yourselves ready
Gør jer klar
Make yourselves ready
Gør jer klar...
Make yourselves ready…
Gør jer klar!
Make yourselves ready!
Der er bid i de planer jeg har
There's a catch in the plans I've got
Gør jer klar!
Make yourselves ready!
