Ek is die leeu, wie moet sy slaap. (I’m the lion, who should be sleeping)

Zebra, jy gebalk te veel.
Zebra, jy gebalk te veel!
Jy raserige zebra!  Jy gebalk te veel!
Ek is die naaf in die natuur se wiel.
Ek sal eet jy, kom die aanbreek.

Esel, jy gebalk te veel.
Esel, jy gebalk te veel!
Jy raserige esel!  Jy gebalk te veel!
Ek is die naaf in die natuur se wiel.
Ek sal eet jy, kom die aanbreek.

Twee bene, jy praat te veel.
Twee bene, jy praat te veel!
Jy raserige  twee bene!  Jy praat te veel!
Ek is die naaf in die natuur se wiel.
Ek sal eet jy, kom die aanbreek.

Ek is die leeu, wie moet sy slaap.

Zebra, you bray too much.
Zebra, you bray too much!
You noisy zebra!  You bray too much!
I am the hub in nature’s wheel.
I will eat you, come the dawn.

Donkey, you bray too much.
Donkey, you bray too much!
You noisy donkey!  You bray too much!
I am the hub in nature’s wheel.
I will eat you, come the dawn.

Two legs, you talk too much.
Two legs, you talk too much!
You noisy two legs!  You talk too much!
I am the hub in nature’s wheel.
I will eat you, come the dawn.

I’m the lion, who should be sleeping.
