About Imaginer

"Imaginer" (to imagine) is a French-language song first performed and recorded by American singer Jackie Evancho in 2011. The song uses the music from a 1999 English-language song, "Broken Vow", by Walter Afanasieff and Lara Fabian. The same songwriters wrote the new French lyrics for Evancho, who recorded it on her 2011 gold album Dream With Me, which was recorded when Evancho was 10 years old.

Assise au bord de mon grand coeur
Je parle de paix sans pudeur
D'un arbre millenaire me racontant l'histoire qu'ici bas on a peine a croire
Bien avant la tour de babel
Les I phone les moteurs diesel
Existait un jardin
Grand comme notre vielle terre
Ou les hommes protegaient leurs freres

Imaginer un monde solaire
Ou se dissoudrait nos vielles guerres
Imaginer un monde sans faim
Ou le ciel d'un seul dieu
Eteindrait tous les feux

J'ai ramasse toutes mes priers
Celles que pour nous je n cesse de faire
Je garde l espoir que l'on entendra dans ma voix
La certitude qu'on survivra

Imaginer un monde solaire
Ou se dissoudrait nos vielles guerres

Imaginer un monde sans faim
Ou le ciel d'un seul dieu
Eteindrait tous les feux

Ouvre les yeux
Et lance toi du haut de ton reve le plus fou
Le secret c'est d'y croire encore
Et malgre tout
Ouvre les yeux

Ne laisse rien ni personne te decourager
Il te suffira de chanter

Imaginer un monde solaire
Ou se dissoudrait nos vielles guerres
Imaginer un monde sans faim
Ou le ciel d'un seul dieu
Eteindrait tous les feux
