A whim away, a whim away...

That's the lyrics, right?

It was originally written in Zulu, where it was "wembube" ("of the lion").

Then the song got colonized and distributed into the US under the title "Wimoweh".

Later the lyrics "the lion sleeps tonight" got added, but from what I can find, they did not change the "wimoweh".
