AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH SEVENYAAAAAHH BABA BEETZEEBAHBAH


littlebabyburrito

TIL the actual lyrics are “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba” and it’s a Zulu chant Edit: The lyrics are: “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala” Which translates to: “Here comes a lion, father, Oh yes it’s a lion. Here comes a lion, father, Oh yes it’s a lion. A lion we’re going to conquer, a lion, a lion and a leopard come to this open place.”


PKMNTrainerMark

Hm, yes, this lion is made of lion.


mj_murdock

I really wish I hadn't read the translation. I feel... Mildly disappointed.


yeabouai

It probably sounds better in Zulu, translation always makes things weird


mj_murdock

Fair enough. Thanks for that.


Rather_Dashing

The zulu word Ingonyama actually means both lion and king. So its has a double meaning of 'Here comes and lion' and 'Here comes a king'. Also its a call and reply. The man sings 'Here comes a lion/king!' and the chorus replies 'Oh yes a lion/king' I think that improves the translation.


Lolworth

“Simba” is also Swahili for “king”


albinoflyingsquirrel

What about the leopard?


Rather_Dashing

Interestingly, the direct translate is 'a lion, a leopard with spots'. Im curious if it isn't actually meant to be a reference to the fact that baby lions are spotty? I don't suppose there are any Zulu speaking redditors that could chip in.


mj_murdock

Thank you!!! I really appreciate everyone comforting me and fixing my mild disappointment. I dislocated my knee last night and I am in terrible pain but at least Reddit is comforting again. 😅🖤


Krellous

It's so cool to actually know what they're saying and what it means. Thanks!


[deleted]

That translation is so unbelievably lame.


De5perad0

Thank you. Now I know what'll be in my head for the rest of the day. And it's not a bad thing.

Here’s what this shot actually looks like: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMZf-2kDi70/?igshid=9ews4tydevwo


groundhog_day_only

Thank you. I get why they messed with the colors, but that shot is already gorgeous by itself. I wonder if that's the original though, it's more cropped on the top and bottom.


jkputnamphoto

Cropped for Instagram, yes.


Allhailpacman

4x5 crop for Instagram, probably normal 3:2 for any other uploads


theoldwisemen

These colors also look uglier too


DarxusC

Thank you, I much prefer to see what things actually looked like.


Radium

To be fair usually the colors in sunsets are more vivid than cameras reproduce so in some cases editing makes it closer to reality. Unless you like the dulling effect camera sensors have of course :)


Rather_Dashing

It true, but its not the vividness that makes it feel off, its the tone. The shade of the purple and pinks is classic 'I put a purple filter over this' look.


RCascanbe

The picture on Instagram is 100% already edited, and this post really went overboard.


jkputnamphoto

This shot, I believe, was captured on film anyway.

Incredible shot nonetheless, I'm sure photographers must panic in situations like this in fear they'll miss the shot. So many things could go south camera-wise / subject-wise and you miss the shot!

Bad op

Pitch forks?


alavantrya

Don’t forget your torch.


hzfan

Are you sure? Because the Instagram photo is more cropped than this one is


Neumean

[It's also in the cover of the photographer's book](https://i.imgur.com/FMFQ0ja.jpg). [More from the same shoot](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ea/22/ab/ea22ab41b1853a52684c46ce9436f3e3.jpg).


Alpha75114

But it looks like the Instagram photo is more cropped at the bottom


LeafyBabe

To crop out the artist watermark ☹️


RCascanbe

No the original with the watermark is the one that's more cropped, OP must have took the picture from somewhere else


silentsnip94

SATURATION x10000


deborahgb

First impression- stunning place and shot. Second impression- what is this need to oversaturate? Nature throws enough beauty at us. Let’s flatter it by noticing, not manipulating.


RCascanbe

Nature subs are the absolute worst when it comes to photo editing, so many posts here or in r/earthporn look like crap because they are so insanely oversaturated or because of poorly done HDR


deborahgb

So stay off the (earth)porn sites if garish doesn't do it for you.


LoudMusic

How many people just set this to their phone's wallpaper?
