Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si On Parlait by Sheryfa Luna from French to English.

I looked at the world, I saw my reflection in it

Like you, when I fall I love someone to pick me up

That we meet with a smile on our lips

Rise rise rise rise rise

Hey, they say this is the last part

I like walking in the shade, I'm scared of myself

I don't have a lamp but I've got my spark

The one that reminds me

That I'm just a woman among others

Just look at how many mistakes I've made

We're part of it, our pain built it

We are the world

If we talked to each other

We've been watching each other too long

If we talked

Fear is what's holding us back

Final act

Everyone leaves their ivory tower

If we talked, we chatted, if we talked

It's just we don't know each other, we gotta understand each other

And to understand each other nothing's more natural

If I reach out my hand will you give me yours

Yours yours yours yours yours

Even if deep down we're far from the same

Does that mean we should go back

Stay stuck in the past like we're frozen

I'm just a woman among the others

Just look at how many mistakes I've made

We're part of it, our pain built it

We are the world

If we talked to each other

We've been watching each other too long

If we talked

Fear is what's holding us back

Final act

Everyone leaves their ivory tower

If we talked, we chatted, if we talked

I set my ego aside

Gotta pop the bubble, amigo

We are the world

Alone we're not much

I set my ego aside

Gotta pop the bubble, amigo

We are the world

Alone we're not much

If we talked to each other, we've been staring too long

If we talked, it's fear that holds us back

Final act

Everyone leaves their ivory tower

If we talked, we chatted, if we talked

If we talked to each other, we've been staring too long

If we talked, it's fear that holds us back

Final act

Everyone leaves their ivory tower

If we talked, we chatted, if we talked

If we talked

SONG MEANING

Imagine you and me sitting at a café, mirrors all around, each one reflecting our own hopes, doubts and little mistakes. That is the setting Sheryfa Luna sketches in “Si On Parlait” (If We Talked). The French R-n-B singer looks at the world and literally sees her own reflection: a regular person who falls, needs a helping hand and would rather greet strangers with a smile than with suspicion. Over a catchy mid-tempo beat she asks a simple question: what would happen if we finally broke the silence and just talked?

Sheryfa admits she has fears, an ego to park at the door and plenty of “faults,” yet her inner spark tells her that all humans are built from the same mix of strengths and scars. By encouraging everyone to leave their ivory towers, pierce the social “bubble” and reach out a hand, the song becomes an upbeat call for unity. In short, Sheryfa Luna reminds us that we are the world, but only when we dare to share words, smiles and a bit of vulnerability.
