Lyrics

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
And the world will be as one
N’áyi má bɛ̀n kélen mà, sìgi tɛ́ díya
N’áyi má bɛ̀n kélen mà, jàmana tɛ́ díya
Wà n’ányi má bɛ̀n kélen mà
Háli bádenya ɲùman tɛ́ díya
Ála ká dúnuya dán, Ála ká sìlamɛyi dán
Ála ká mɔ̀gɔbayi dán
Kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Ála, Dúnuya
K’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé, aa-aaa-aaaaa
Dúnuya, Ála ká dúnuya dán
Ála ká sìlamɛyi dán
Ála ká mɔ̀gɔbayi dán
Kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé, heee-heee
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger; a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
And the world will live as one
N’áyi má bɛ̀n kélen mà, sìgi tɛ́ díya
Ɔ̀ n’áyi má bɛ̀n kélen mà, jàmana tɛ́ díya
N’ányi má bɛ̀n kélen mà
Háli bádenya ɲùman tɛ́ díya
Ála ká dúnuya dán, Ála ká tùbabuyi dán
Ála ká fàrafinyi dán, mmmm
K’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Ála ká dúnuya dán, Ála ká tùbabuyi dán
Ála ká fàrafinyi dán, mmmm
K’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Dúnuya, k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
Mɔ̀gɔbalu, kó k’án ká kɛ́ kélen yé
O-oo-oooo
O-oo-oooo
