"Hakuna matata" is a Swahili saying meaning "no worries" (literally translated, it means "There are no concerns here.")

The saying was made popular in the Disney movie The Lion King. In the movie, a meerkat and a warthog named Timon and Pumbaa, respectively, teach a lion cub named Simba that he should forget his troubled past and concentrate only on the present. In reference to the two characters, the phrase had the added implication of a complete lack of ambition.

"Hakuna Matata" is also the name of a song from that movie by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice.
