Hakuna Matata

Swahili maxim meaning "there are no worries"

"Hakuna-matata" is a Swahili language phrase from East Africa, meaning "no trouble" or "no worries" and "take it easy". The 1994 Walt Disney Animation Studios animated film The Lion King brought the phrase to Western prominence in one of its most popular songs, in which it is translated as "no worries". The song is often heard at Disney's resorts, hotels, and other places appealing to the tourist trade.
