help!! can someone translate; A-weema-weh?
 
Oops, tomorrow I will be working with the song �The lion sleeps tonight � and I suddenly realized the students might ask me what "a-Weemah-weh" means.
Needless to say I have no idea.  If any of you have any idea, I would be more than grateful. It doesn �t really fit me to leave something like this to the last minute....

I �ve found this in the net: "Coming from Africa, it �s "a mishearing of the original song �s chorus of �uyimbube � (meaning "you �re a lion")."
