Poderoso rey seré
Mighty king I will be
Sin oposición

Pues yo nunca he visto un rey león
Well, I've never seen a lion king
Que no tenga mechón
Don't let him have a lock
Nunca ha habido nadie así
There's never been anyone like this
Seré la sensación
I'll be the feeling
Observa como rujo yo
Watch me roar
Te causo un gran temor
I'm causing you a great fear
Pues, no parece nada excepcional
Well, it doesn't seem exceptional at all
Yo quisiera ya ser un rey
I'd like to be a king by now
Piense bien y verá que aún le falta mucho, alteza-
Think carefully and you will see that you still have a long way to go, Your Highness-
Nadie que me diga
No one to tell me
Bueno, cuando dije que
Well, when I said that
Lo que debo hacer
What I have to do
Quise decir que
I meant that
Nadie que me diga
No one to tell me
Pero, no se da cuenta
But, he doesn't realize
Simba y nala

Cómo debo ser
How it should be
Pero, mire aquí
But, look here
Libre de correr seré

Bueno, definitivamente eso no

Todo lo que quiera haré
Anything I want I'll do
Usted y yo tenemos que
You and I have to
De cara a cara hablar

Mira nada más
Look at that
Al rey quién quiere aconsejar

Si este es el rumbo que llevamos, yo no voy
If this is the course we're taking, I'm not going
Lejos yo me voy de áfrica, no me voy a quedar

El chico cada día está más mal
The boy's getting worse every day
Yo quisiera ya ser un rey
I'd like to be a king by now
Miren por aquí-í, miren por acá-á
Look over here-í, look over here-a
Donde me vean, seré una estrella
Where they see me, I'll be a star
Y con cada criatura compartir

Bien fuerte, por doquier se pueda oír
