I don't think "Hakuna Matata" is under any copyright sonce it's just "No Problem" in Swahili, a language of eastern africa.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swahili

How do I know ? I lived in Eastern Africa :) (and Western too for that matters...).

Of course you can copyright words. Try copy/pasting Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone into a manuscript and publish it. See how long you last before you get sued. =)

You create something, you own the copyright to it.

However, Disney did not create the phrase 'hakuna matata' (although they did popularise it) - just as you did not create the phrase 'konnichiwa' - so you're right in saying there shouldn't be any legal issues.
