It's a Small World Lyrics

OK. It's been said that the lyrics for IaSW have been translated into more languages than any other song. However, where can one find these lyrics (esp. online). I can't seem to find them online. I have found the chorus and second verse in German, though.

I like to study languages/liguistics as a bit of a hobby, so I could do a bit of word-by-word translation, but that's not necessarily the correct translation (like what is used on the ride). For instance, the chorus in German directly translates as "This world is ever so small."

If anyone knows of any site or where ever the various lyrics can be found, I'd very much appreciate it. (It's not for a project or anything, just for general knowledge and my own self satisfaction)

Thanks for any help in advance. :wave:

I've only ever seen them in English.


It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
 

DMC-12

It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
It's a world of pain
A world of fears
It's a world of slain
And a world of tears
There's so much that we hate
That it's time we decapitate
It's a small world after all

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And every evil doll means
Pain to ev'ryone
Though the mountains we divide
And take over all America wide
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world


The Evil must be stopped! :fork: :lookaroun

I, hcwalker16, do hereby confess that when I was 3, I dragged my mother onto IASW for 14 consecutive loops. She claims to have heard that song in her sleep for many weeks thereafter.

Also, one time at a marching band show, one of the other bands played THAT song, since they were going to WDW that year. I looked above me, and some of the band members were pretending to be the demonic dolls. It was hillarious.

Ive had a theroy about that song. If you put cearal killers in a room and play it over and over, it will break them down, very quickly.

I actually like the song, and the ride contains the World's coolest cat: the bumbershoot-toting flower-power Jaguar on the left in the rain-forest scene.

That cat gets 10 out of 10 for style and extreme coolness in my book.

Actually, the official "Where the Magic Lives" CD from last year had "It's a Small World" on it and in a few different languages. The lyrics page inside the case has it in those languages I'm pretty sure. I would have to get it from the car to double check.

Thanks Number_6. I pulled out my "Where Magic Lives" to check (I didn't even think about that). Yes the recording has I think 2 other languages other than English, but lyrics are not in the cover sheet.

I knew I had some of the lyrics on one of the CD covers. I have the "Disney's Greatest" CD set and one of the CDs has the lyrics printed inside. It has Swedish and Spanish listed.
