I grew up watching the original Lion King! My Brother & I would drive My Mother CRAZY singing the Theme Songs to The Lion King😂 Hakuna Matata & Just Can't Wait to be King! I still think the Original is Better than the Remake💯

It is Swahili for no worries! The rest has been added on by Disney.

As a South African , I am not happy about this explanation. This is one of our 11 official languages. please do a proper research. There is no truth in this explanation. The phrase simply means "no problems "

It’s from Setswana a buntu language, “there’s no problem “ so just “no worries” alone is the best answer

Disney translated this very wrong! It means no worries or there is no problem.

This is actually not true. Hakuna Matata is one of those feel good touristy phrases and was first made popular by our very own Them Mushrooms Band in their song Jambo Bwana was before the lion king was released. Hakuna Matata also just means no problem so that but about "for the rest of your days" is totally a Disney thing. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🤗

That's actually not the correct translation, those are the lyrics. The translation is "There are no worries/matters".

I watched the original with my daughter, then about 7 years old, and she cried at the scene where Mufasa was trampled upon by the herd.
