Actually, that’s not the correct meaning. He tried, but the accurate translation is closer to ‘Behold, a King of Kings, my people.’ The person who translated it is Ndebele from Zimbabwe, not South African Zulu. The Ndebele language comes from Zulu, but some words in Zulu don’t exist in Ndebele, which is why the translation isn’t exact. This song is Zulu, so if you want the true meaning, it’s best to ask a South African Zulu speaker.

Oscar lion :
ingonyama is a lion also a representative of a king in isizulu or isixhosa the main language used in the story or film, so the song announces the arrival of a King or birth of a king or prince. the guy on that show knows nothing about isizulu or isixhosa cultures...he's shona from Zimbabwe

Zweh👊🏾 :
just because an African is translating does not mean he is giving the right translation. in this context ingonyama is king or future king. hence why all the animals bow down🤷🏾♂️

Fun fact: the song is not saying the lion is king, it says the king is a leopard. Nguni speaking people can correct me if I'm wrong.
