Alban Dr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
No more wicked people, what is left? One Love
No more wicked people, what is left? One Love
Attention! Attention! My name is Albatjov
Mi come for tell you 'bout a thing called 'One Love'

We have a lot of jealousy, so you see
Today's friends are tomorrow's enemy
A lot of them are sleep a mi say lot of them are work
Jah know Jah know Jah know you have to reap what you sow

We used to be friends but now we go apart
We used to be cool but now we don't talk
Ask me why boy, I don't know
Maybe's jealousy between me and you

Maybe it's my progress nor is it my dollarsis
I've always been thinking that you are the chosen one
But your attitude problems I can't explain
I keep wondering how you can go so far

One day you might end up being having no friends
Count me out 'cause Jah Jah says so

[Chorus: x2]
One Love

Anything mi want to do mi do it one time, a mi say
Anything mi want to do mi do it one time
Mi no care what people say and mi no care what them chat
Mi just talk sense a say mi get pan the max

Them a wonder why I man get so far
'Cause their attitude problems I can't explain
Get up and stand up, get up and stand up
Stand up for your right, a mi say

Get up and stand up, get up and stand up, stand up for your
Mi say man mi no take no bullshit from anyone
Mi say man mi no take no bullshit from anyone
Anything mi borrow mi have to give it back again, a mi say

Anything mi lend mi have to get it back again
Go tell your friend a when mi come mi come again
Go tell your friend a when mi come mi come rough
Get up and stand up, get up and stand up

Stand up for your right, a mi say
Get up and stand up, get up and stand up, stand up for your right

[Chorus 2]
What is it? One Love
What is it? One Love
What is it? One Love
What is it? One Love

One Love

[Chorus 2]

You're loving money more than people
You'd be loving people more than money
If it's one God, one aim, one destiny
For the better in the world, for you and for me

You're living in darkness
You should be living in the light
Think if love was a thing money could buy
The rich would a live and the poor would a die

But since it's not it, and what is it
One Love
One Love, One Love, One Love, One Love
One Love, One Love, One Love

You're living in darkness
You've got to come to know the truth
You're living in darkness
You've got to make a sacrifice

You're living in darkness
You've got to come to know the truth




You're living in darkness
You should be living in the light, One Love

Overall Meaning

The song suggests that we should avoid behaviors that breed envy and instead focus on caring for others.


Throughout the song, the artist acknowledges the prevalence of jealousy and how it can turn friends into enemies. He notes that relationships often suffer because of our own egos and insecurities. Alban Dr mentions his own frustration with a friend whose "attitude problems" are inexplicable. He highlights the importance of standing up for oneself and others, ultimately communicating the message that our actions and attitudes must be rooted in love.
