English term or phrase: The Lion Sleeps Tonight
I'm trying to find the Latin translation of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'. 'The lion sleeps' seems to be either 'leo dormit' or 'leo somnus', but I don't know which, and 'tonight' seems to be possibly 'hodie vesperi', or 'ea nocte', or 'hac nocte', or 'noctu, or 'de nocte'. Please help! We are trying to disguise the song title as if it's an old piece of classical music, so that's the context... Many thanks!
