The Chorus should actually be "uyi[mbube]". That's the Zulu term used, meaning "You're a [lion]."
I think it's really cool how it was in the Lion King, it was originally a South African folk song about the Last king of the Zulu's. Its said that he never died, he is just sleeping, waiting to return. While in the Lion King, Simba is thought dead and comes back. I don't know, I guess it's just funny how it ties in with the movie on another level, even with Timone singing "Apumba" in exchange of the actual lyrics ^_^
