I went and saw this play a couple of years ago and I was so moved by the entire production. The opening definitely brought tears to my eyes. I might be the only person to say this but I saw Hamilton and was actually bored. I don't know what the hype was all about. The Lion King is 100 times better
@@sundae6969 I didn't see Hamilton live but on film, but I went to see the LK many years ago, I saw it twice. If it comes near me, I'll go again, it's my favorite live performance!
ANYTHING that sounds tribal hits me so deep in the soul. Whether it's a Zulu song, Inuit throat singing or the Haka being performed, I cry like a baby every time.
This song usually makes me feel emotional, but this specific performance made me cry my eyes out. You can feel Gugwana's emotion and how she and the whole cast are thrilled to be there. Just amazing.
This song gives all the feels and this one I can usually get to the darn giraffes walking on stage before I lose it. This rehearsal it was by the first note. Power of Music.
Damn! I cried like a child. I LITERALLY don't know what is it about this song that takes me somewhere else very deep inside. Like a safe and pure magical place. It just makes you feel alive
Nants ingonyama bakithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion] Nants ingonyama bakithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard with spots 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
Even not thinking about the musical or movie I feel this song is about hope and courage. And about some kind of breakthrough. For me it serves as a beautiful reminder of what people can achieve when they work together. The harmonies in the voices and those chords progressions just move the soul. Its feels like a spiritual ceremony. Very sacred indeed... They should warn people about it actually.😅😢
This sound could surely heal the world... The moment the lead vocal opens with that famous cry, and the chorus comes in with that ripping chord, my goodness I'm in tears.... just simply stunning
I'm a Swiss citizen who lived in SA for 20 years, but left 7 year ago. Every time I watch this video I'm moved to tears. There is just something about African voices singing with their whole soul..... God is there.
What sets this song apart from many others is that it hits your spirit before it hits your emotions or intellectual faculties. There is an unmistakable, undeniable, underlying spiritual evocation that provokes the spirit to respond before the mind can fully understand why tears are emerging.
Singing in his a spiritual thing, it was always used spiritually before it became entertainment. In South Africa, gospel music is huge and its influence can still be heard even in some urban music.
2024 still listening. Always stirrs emotions in me. I wish to sing this song live with the team just for one day. 🙏 I love love the depth of work and passion put it into.
COVID took so much from performers and artists. The fact that We just got to see the moment they’re finally in a room with people who have the same passion, talent and love for the art is a gift! Thank you! ❤️
I'm so happy I'm not the only one that cries her heart out upon listening to this song. The power which comes from a choir is so strong, and our bros and sis from Africa make everything even more deep and powerful. So so good ❤️
So beautiful I cried I don't know why but when I see Africans singing and dancing it touches my soul to the utmost that I have to pray to God because I feel like Africa is my home. Thank you momma Africa for being my roots and letting me be in touch with it's beauty and soulful heritage and pride
this song is one of the most magical chord progressions and harmonics I've ever heard. the composer must be a genius. it will never fail to catch me emotionally.
I've cried everytime I've seen it live 8 times now and always same emotion it's breathtaking most magical show ever and their passion just shows throughout whole performance will always be my fave show
THIS is MY ANCESTORS’ LANGUAGE… Hundreds of years STOLEN from us AND I CAN STILL FEEL IT… That mere fact moves me BEYOND anything this humble wordsmith’s mind can FATHOM.
Theater major here. This song has always been a masterpiece--and yes, I'm old enough to remember when the original film was in theaters--but this particular rendition hits so hard. The pandemic has brought us powerfully and painfully through all the aspects of the circle mentioned in the lyrics, and knowing that we're, gods willing, emerging into the next round, returning to our craft of the stage we love so dear, is extremely poignant. In times of great sorrow, the human soul longs for stories and storytellers, and it's an honor to provide that through an art that's been a tradition for thousands of years. Bravo to the cast and blessed be. )O(
Naaaaants ingonyama babithi baba…stirs the very core of me every single time. Love to you all from South Africa (translated: ‘Here comes a lion, father’)
Lion king is my absolute favorite Disney movie. The story is beautiful but the MUSIC is absolutely astounding!!! I told myself one day I was going to see this masterpiece and I finally did and I would go again without a doubt just to hear these amazing people sing like THAT!! 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 freaking beautiful!!!
I just love being African!!!! I’m soooo thankful!!!! My families are from Ethiopia, West Africa, Central Africa and South Africa!! Glad I have connections from all over!!!! 🥵🥵❤️❤️
I can't even count how many times I’ve cried while listening. Their voices carry the weight of past injustices, the resilience of their strength, and the beauty of their harmony. This is my tenth time playing it, and every note feels like a heartbeat-it’s not just music; it’s life itself.
I don't know why but watching and hearing this video became more of a spiritual awareness for me. This was so emotional more than a movie. Thanks to all who sang this song. Your brilliance is much appreciated.
Through this sound, we can hear historical injustice and that from the womb to the tomb, something JUST must be done 😢😢 May God bless Africa, it’s sons and daughters 🙌
Every time I listen I go through every emotion from goose bumps to power to tears and humbled like the song takes you through the circle of life amazing
As an usher at the Minskoff theatre.. I am sincerely sad for literally every patron that shows up late and misses this number. It’s the most rewarding thing in the world to see if I feel. It gives me chills EVERY time in inside the theatre and able to watch it.
One time, I actually went to the front of the auditorium just to watch the performances get ready to walk through the front doors. I was simply in awe. I took a beautiful picture that proudly hangs in our living room. And every tim someone visits, they ask about that picture. I tear up talking about it
I saw this with my daughter in NYC ten years ago. Last week we saw it again in North Carolina, bringing her three year old daughter. She loved it, knew the characters, laughed and clapped. Sat on my lap the entire performance. We want her to experience live theater, it soothes one’s soul.
Every time I listen to this music, it takes exactly half a second for the first goosebumps to appear and two seconds for the tears to start rolling. Not bad, I think, for someone who is almost 60 years old. Don't you agree?
The women who plays Rafiki is Gugwana Dlamini. I remember there was a video of the Lion King cast singing at an airport, she was also playing Rafiki then. She is just too wholesome.
Saw the show in Birmingham yesterday with my wife. It was INCREDIBLE. The cast, singing, voices of the characters, live music, outfits, sound effects and backdrops. Awesome 👏👏👏
This is such a deeply spiritual song. It goes beyond the story of a Lion. :) Brings me to tears every time. Haven't been back to physical church since 2020 and listening to this makes me miss Physical church sooo badly.
This is why music, live and raw, always has been and always will be so very important. To communicate emotions when the words aren't there to do so. And to conjure emotions you didn't know you had within you. Music transcends everything. I feel blessed every single day to be a musician.
Words just don't express how you feel when you see this for the first time live. No matter where or which cast, it absolutely will hit all your emotions in one go.
I had to pause it for a minute. This is literally my favorite song from the lion king. When I need a glimpse of my childhood I go to this song. I love this so much. Great performance
That was stunning, but nothing beats watching it live in theatre…the feelings you will feel when you’re watching this live in theatre are just unmatched by anything I’ve watched or heard.
My husband and I were lucky enough to see the production when it came to Austin. I personally had been waiting 20 years to see it live and it was well worth the wait. There's something about theater that hits you deep in your soul.
This song is so powerful.. I get emotional whenever this is sung, especially by the people who originally and naturally chant this.. it brings peace to me.. and hope it brings peace to the world, too, as we all have the right to live in the circle of life..
Suddenly, we feel we're part of a big family. We cannot touch each other, we cannot see each other, but we feel. Thank you, beautiful souls for making our lives much more beautiful! Congratulations: it's the first time I see a video no one dislikes.
Proudly South African, whst a beautiful song in ISiZulu one of beautiful South African languages. Plesier, Siyabonga ka khulu Bomkhaya for flying our flag high eEurope and all over the world 🙌🙌🇿🇦🇿🇦💕💗🌻🌼💐
When she sings the tears of joy come oh my and they're beautiful cast oh my tears of Joy body of old 82-year old woman's body never stop moving I dance to the whole song everytime I hear it I feel mother Africa I'm home God bless everyone in the circle of life
I just saw a glimpse of it on TikTok and had to search for the whole song. Boy I cried like crazy. Bawled my eyes out. This song is so powerful, and the choir behind it is so wonderful. An absolutely stunning performance. This song and it doesn't matter if it is on the Disney movie or here always give me the chills and makes me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just sobbed at this! I remember seeing the Lion King at the cinema when it first came out- I took my 2 nieces - they were 8 and 10 at the time - they sobbed at the opening sequence. It’s beautiful music, picture and the best animated film I've seen ever!
The passion and joy exhibited by all the performers in this video shows why The Lion King show is one of the best shows you can go and see. I would love a chance to see the whole show live one day. Thank You to all of you wonderful show.
I had the privilage to wacth them in 2013... The Circle of Life always gets me.. it has something special. Must be the best show-opener EVER. But this... this reduced me to tears completely... I feel them...
I saw it in London last night and it was just wonderful to be there. Could’ve watched it over and over again all night though!! Endless Night was a fantastic performance too
Idk how many times I've watched this and I've cried every time, seeing this on Broadway a couple years ago I was so emotional during the opening act. This is my all time favorite Disney movie and the only Broadway show I've ever wanted to see on Broadway, the raw emotions of all the preformers being able to start to bring this back to an audience is absolutely amazing and you can feel it in all of them!! #GOAT
I’ve watched this video so many times and it moves me deeply each time. I’m in awe of this cast. I felt every emotion from their beautiful voices. Theater is back! 🙏🏽
This is so emotional! Their voices, and their feelings singing it just goes deep in my heart, it just makes me cry, but is a good cry. Wish one day I can see them in person. God bless you all with your amazing voices and you’re blessings us. Thank you, thank you. 🙏🙏👍👍👏👏👏
I've just been to see the lion king at the lyceum today and it was truly magnificent. The music, acting and costumes are spell binding. This clip does not do this wall of sound justice! I will remember this afternoon forever! Thank you
Wow that was breath taking! I had goosebumps non-stop. Had seen a glimpse of this on reels and had to listen to the entire song. Well done! Can't find the words. That was truly beautiful!❤
I wish I was in this room when this was recorded. The raw emotion, they’ve been affected by covid for so long, and it shows by how emotional everyone is. It’s magical
That makes me cry from the first sound to the last... It goes deep to my heart... It's absolutely amazing and I find it incomprehensible how one can sing so beautifully ❤❤❤ thank you soso much ❤❤❤
Please can someone tell me why I'm crying!!!.. The power behind these voices❤️❤️ so overwhelming xxx seen this in London twice as a child and I can't wait togo see it again and appreciate it more nowadays
I’ve always said that the opening number of the Lion King is worth the price of admission itself. This rehearsal is so emotional. Well done!
I went and saw this play a couple of years ago and I was so moved by the entire production. The opening definitely brought tears to my eyes. I might be the only person to say this but I saw Hamilton and was actually bored. I don't know what the hype was all about. The Lion King is 100 times better

true i went and seen it so worth the price
@@sundae6969 I didn't see Hamilton live but on film, but I went to see the LK many years ago, I saw it twice. If it comes near me, I'll go again, it's my favorite live performance!
Yes!!! Emotional!!! 😭😭🧡🧡

Me too.
😮😮❤❤A emoção é contagiante, muito forte lindo por demais❤❤😮😮
Too bad we are not funding it
to keep all the wealth coming
from it. 🤷🏽🤦🏽♂️
This song usually makes me feel emotional, but this specific performance made me cry my eyes out. You can feel Gugwana's emotion and how she and the whole cast are thrilled to be there. Just amazing.
Same. 😭
I have literally shed tears mayn... Eesh
I'm ugly crying right now.
Shows how deeply connected you all are ,absolutely captivating performance
This song gives all the feels and this one I can usually get to the darn giraffes walking on stage before I lose it. This rehearsal it was by the first note. Power of Music.
Damn! I cried like a child. I LITERALLY don't know what is it about this song that takes me somewhere else very deep inside. Like a safe and pure magical place. It just makes you feel alive

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
Me too
I’m crying too brother. What a treasure we were able to experience

Yes, absolutely. Fills you up, no words can describe the feeling.

Couldn’t agree more 🥲🌍🤍🤲🏻
Well said 👏
Yes, the sound, it heals the world. It's a spiritual sound.
saw it yesterday and cried my eyes out whole performance. most beautiful musical ive ever seen.
Igual yo 😢
I don't understand how they can sing like this multiple shows a week without completely blowing their voices. STUNNING!!!
Technique !
I cry cry cry
nature has provided
for the first traning for the second Technique
usually in rehearsals they don’t go full voice. Plus we now have microphones for the singers to wear during performances which again helps them.
I'm a Swiss citizen who lived in SA for 20 years, but left 7 year ago. Every time I watch this video I'm moved to tears. There is just something about African voices singing with their whole soul..... God is there.
❤Thanks, that's us, who we truly are, souls and soul movers❤
God’s first people-melanated people. There is magic in everything we do.
Live in South Africa for 15 years and I can say that I miss this country. One of the most beautiful place to live on Earth
The Power of Mother Africa Shines Through!!! Just Powerful and oh so Beautiful
I'm 74 years old and proud to be a BLACK MAN. This brings out the warrior in me.
Youre absolutely no different to the rest except how you choose to be.
What sets this song apart from many others is that it hits your spirit before it hits your emotions or intellectual faculties. There is an unmistakable, undeniable, underlying spiritual evocation that provokes the spirit to respond before the mind can fully understand why tears are emerging.
100% agreee
You said it all. It enters the spirit, soul and body
Whoever composed this song , should be the musical hall of fame , 24yrs since 1995 and this song still hit 🔥 it
Singing in his a spiritual thing, it was always used spiritually before it became entertainment. In South Africa, gospel music is huge and its influence can still be heard even in some urban music.

I was searching for a comment like this! Yes!
It mentally drained us!!!! I work in theatre and seeing the doors closed for over 630 days hurt worse than anything
Covid also took away the life of an very talented baritone. #CarlosMarin4ever
South African voices are just out of this world 👌👌👌👌

This one hits different tho
A little?
Listen to south African freedom songs. Esp of oppressed workers. You'll cry again!
this song is one of the most magical chord progressions and harmonics I've ever heard. the composer must be a genius. it will never fail to catch me emotionally.
For me nothing beats this, it has remained to be the best opening song for anything. First time watching this live made me cry.
I've cried everytime I've seen it live 8 times now and always same emotion it's breathtaking most magical show ever and their passion just shows throughout whole performance will always be my fave show

The joy, the tears, the happiness, the support, the passion. These videos never cease to amaze me and put a smile on my face!
This will forever and always be my favorite broadway. This song digs deep into my soul every single time.
This song has always brought tears to my eyes. The passion with which it’s sung and the message. Circle of life rules us all
also brings back our childhood memories and thinking how much we changed when watching the animated movie. circle of life
This song still hits deeps every time i hear it ❤😅
Saw this a few months ago on Broadway and my little South African self burst into tears at the first line of the song

I remember seeing the Lion King at the cinema when it first came out- I took my 2 nieces - they were 8 and 10 at the time - they sobbed at the opening sequence.
It’s beautiful music, picture and the best animated film I've seen ever!
This came up in my feed. What a gift I got today!!!! Thank you so much for sharing such soul. Absolutely incredible! God bless you all.

Never get tired of hearing this song live. Absolutely magical and magestic 💖

Goosebumps. Tears. Absolutely beautiful.
Those goosebumps know something...
Goosebumps Bro the song has some form of power in it. I tell you 😂😂
I find it touching that even the singers in this song, in this opening the tears come. I love music. It touches and hits my heart every time
Well done everyone with this amazing milestone for opening theatres back up. Cant wait for it to return
I can not speak Zulu, but something about this has always gave me chillls and brings me to tears. And it’s not in sadness.
I saw it in London last night and it was just wonderful to be there. Could’ve watched it over and over again all night though!! Endless Night was a fantastic performance too
I literally don't know what to say.....this song takes me home.....emotionally and spiritually. I could watch this over and over again
Update: just bought my tickets!
It has been on my bucket list to see this since it came out. I am 35 now. I think this will be the year!
Hace 30 años escuché esta canción por primera vez... Tenía 17 años cuando ví la película, y me emociona como aquel día, que voces tan maravillosas❤
WOW WOW TEARS ARE FLOWING just watching this is unreal they are all so good wow !!!
Idk how many times I've watched this and I've cried every time, seeing this on Broadway a couple years ago I was so emotional during the opening act. This is my all time favorite Disney movie and the only Broadway show I've ever wanted to see on Broadway, the raw emotions of all the preformers being able to start to bring this back to an audience is absolutely amazing and you can feel it in all of them!! #GOAT
Everytime I hear this song sung this way my ears fill with tears, it's so deeply in the soul and has so much to do with real life, love, love it.
I’ve watched this video so many times and it moves me deeply each time. I’m in awe of this cast. I felt every emotion from their beautiful voices. Theater is back! 🙏🏽
I have no words to express my joy at listening to these voices that take us beyond all reality, may God one day lift up Africa 🥹🇬🇦
This is so emotional! Their voices, and their feelings singing it just goes deep in my heart, it just makes me cry, but is a good cry. Wish one day I can see them in person.
God bless you all with your amazing voices and you’re blessings us. Thank you, thank you. 🙏🙏👍👍👏👏👏
Unbelievable God Given Natural Talent. Takes your breath away, yet gives you renewed life all at the same time. Just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Wow. Ms. Rafiki is so beautiful. Thanks for capturing this moment and sharing with us. You all are a treasure and this is so powerful. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾
I've just been to see the lion king at the lyceum today and it was truly magnificent. The music, acting and costumes are spell binding. This clip does not do this wall of sound justice! I will remember this afternoon forever! Thank you
Wow that was breath taking! I had goosebumps non-stop. Had seen a glimpse of this on reels and had to listen to the entire song. Well done! Can't find the words. That was truly beautiful!❤
Saw them in London, goosebumps throughout the whole show. A feast for the eyes and ears. If you haven't gone to this then you are missing out
I wish I was in this room when this was recorded. The raw emotion, they’ve been affected by covid for so long, and it shows by how emotional everyone is. It’s magical
