Silence Lyrics in English Camélia Jordana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Silence by Camélia Jordana from French to English.
You talk, you talk, you talk too much
It's better
Every time you open it, it fails you
a bit
I'm tired, you irritate me, I swear you're embarrassing
All those words that sting me, respect yourself now
Silence, silence, set the example
Your stupidity is huge, I don't know how to say it
Move, move before I sample you
You don't have the shoulders to carry this empire
Silence, silence
Silence, silence
You spit, you spit, you spit too much
On us
All this fuss when you show up
You don't know how ashamed I am
It's so hard, these discomforts, I swear I feel them
It's scary, you're tough, but that tone's indecent
Silence, silence, set the example
Your stupidity is huge, I don't know how to say it
Move, move before I sample you
You don't have the shoulders to carry this empire
Silence, silence
Silence, silence
If you saw, if you saw your face
You're just a kid actually
It's obvious, you're too scared they'll attack you
You're unarmed, you've got stage fright
Silence, silence, set the example
Your stupidity is huge, I don't know how to say it
Move, move before I sample you
You don't have the shoulders to carry this empire
Silence, silence, set the example
Your stupidity is huge, I don't know how to say it
Move, move before I sample you
You don't have the shoulders to carry this empire
Silence, silence
Silence, silence
Silence, silence
Silence, silence

SONG MEANING

“Silence” is Camélia Jordana’s sharp wake-up call to a loudmouthed know-it-all. Throughout the track, the French singer confronts someone who floods every room with bragging, insults and negativity. She fires back with witty put-downs—“Ta bêtise est grande” (your stupidity is huge)—and insists they hush up and show some real leadership instead of empty noise. The repeated command “Silence, silence” feels like a clapback chorus, turning the act of staying quiet into a powerful statement.

Beneath the sass, the song doubles as an anthem of self-respect. Camélia reminds the offender that arrogance is often a mask for fear, calling him “qu’un enfant” (just a child) who lacks the shoulders to carry the “empire” he brags about. By exposing his insecurities, she flips the power dynamic: the real strength belongs to the one who stays calm, not the one who talks loudest. “Silence” is therefore both a catchy pop track and a lesson in valuing thoughtful words over endless chatter.
