《Imagine》的日語詞是由平尾昌晃完成,以下是日語版《Imagine》的歌詞:
世界中にたった一つ君の名前だけを
在世界上只有你的名字
大空にひとつ描いた希望の輪を
在天空中畫下一個希望的圓圈
僕らは今 どこで何をしてるの?
我們現在在哪裡在做什麼?
明日が見えないまま明日を待っている
看不見明天只能等待明天
君を想うとき 世界は広くても
每當想起你的時候,世界即使再廣闊
夢を持って生きてゆける
也能擁有夢想而活下去
恐れてた 怖がりたいなんて
曾經害怕過,想要逃避
必要とされる僕らに夢はある
對我們有所需要,也有夢想
想像してみてよ Imagine その心の奧に
試著想像一下吧,想像在心中的深處
無數の愛を感じさせる
無限的愛心無限湧出
信じていれば 自由に羽ばたける
只要相信就能自由振翅高飛
夢を追いかけて 夢を探しに行こう
追求夢想,去尋找夢想
君の夢を守りつづけるよ
我會一直守護你的夢想
明日が來るよ それだけは信じて
明天一定會來,只要相信這一點
涙を流す度に 強さをもつよ
每次流淚都會變得更強
恐れてた 怖がりたいなんて
曾經害怕過,想要逃避
必要とされる僕らに夢はある
對我們有所需要,也有夢想
想像してみてよ Imagine どんな時も笑顔でいてね
試著想像一下吧,無論何時都要保持笑容
心の聲に耳を傾けよう
傾聽內心的聲音吧
信じていれば 自由に羽ばたける
只要相信就能自由振翅高飛
夢を追いかけて 夢を探しに行こう
追求夢想,去尋找夢想
日文原版歌詞如下:
Imagine there's no heaven,
no earthly possessions,
Imagine all the people,
living for today.
Imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do,
just believe in yourself and
you'll be free.
Imagine all the people,
living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.
Imagine there's no countries,
no violence or hatred,
imagine all the people,
living in harmony.
Imagine all the people,
dreaming for tomorrow,
you may say I'm a dreamer,
but I don't think that I'm wrong.
Imagine all the world is a family,
every nation is a brother or sister,
And if you try and imagine it's all right, then you are being foolish and happy and we can have it now! (Now) This world is in a very special place now! The family needs some sort of correction now! That everyone be happy now! In a harmonious place where you have children growing up and playing together. We are going to create a new world! Imagine that! (Imagine that) Now we need to do it! (Do it) Now we need to create it! (Create it) Now we need to change it! (Change it) Now we need to make it real! (Make it real) Now we need to change ourselves! (Change ourselves) We have no more excuse not to do it now! The dream will come true because you imagined it and made it real. I can imagine our whole nation changing now because you want it! If you are able to imagine and you can change yourselves and want what everyone has and is doing so then our nation will change. Imagine that! (Imagine that) We are going to make it happen! (Make it happen) We are going to create a new world! (Create a new world) We are going to change our nation! (Change our nation) We are going to make it real. We will never let you down. It's your country. You need to work for your country now more than ever before in history. No excuses now! Work hard and become an Ambassador of Hope. I believe that this dream will become a reality.
