Hakuna Matata

It was great to come across the Lion King cartoon again but nothing beats the original story. Hope most of you who watched it before still remember how it goes. There are alot of nice songs inside the movie and I would like to share with all of you.

hakuna matata n. phrase from hakuna matata "no difficulties": no troubles, problems, worries or cares [<>hakuna "there is no, there are no" < ha- prefix signifying negation + -kuna "there is, there are" + matata plural of tata "tangle, mess, difficulty, perplexity"].
  • Lion King Soundtrack"It means 'no worries for the rest of your days'. It's our problem-free philosophy. Hakuna matata!" lyrics by Tim Rice, "Hakuna Matata", The Lion King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 1994.
  • "The name Accoona is derived from the Swahili phrase, Hakuna Matata, which means 'don't worry be happy.'" Accoona Corp., Accoona - About Accoona, Mar. 15, 2006. Although loose, this is a good translation of hakuna matata. Accoona may be derived from the whole phrase, but it sounds like a Cockney or French pronunciation of only the first word. Taken alone, hakuna means "there are none" and is one way of simply answering "no", since there is no single word for "no" in Swahili. This is not a good name for an Internet search engine. Imagine seeing "there are none" on a search result page.












Listening to all this songs really bring back memories and really can lighten up the day. Take some time off and enjoy life my friends.
