For those that don't know, my favourite disney animated film has to be the lion king. I've been obsessed with it from and early age and although i rarely watch it now, i still have strong connections with the film.
Now after randomly typing out 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts diddle de de ..' to zachriel we found out that the song translates differently into different languages. This makes sense since often the theme of things are sacrificed to make the words fit in.
Now what i'm curious is, what other translations do we have out there. So this is where i need your help. if you know another language, can you please hunt out the lyrics both in the language and then translate them into english so i can see what other versions of the song we can get xD
The song is located when scar is king and he asks zazu to sing him a song. If you can find a youtube link as well that's even better
