Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si L'on S'aimait by Les Enfoirés from French to English.

Tonight

We'd love to change the world

Change luck's course

And wasted sorrows

Tonight

We'd love to answer

Those who suffer in silence

That we've heard them

If we loved each other, if we loved each other, but

We'd need to stop looking away

If we helped each other, if we helped each other, but

That's not what we do best

Hope

Is helping each other without giving in

To spineless temptations

Of our good consciences

Hope

It's loving each other, above all sowing

What stands up to the poison

Of indifference

If we loved each other, if we loved each other, but

We'd need to stop looking away

If we helped each other, if we helped each other, but

That's not what we do best

If we loved each other, if we loved each other, but

We'd need to stop looking away

If we helped each other, if we helped each other, but

That's not what we do best

"En" like aid, like forward too

"Foi" faith in another future

"Rés" like Restos, like react

Enfoirés at your service

If we loved each other, if we loved each other, but

We'd need to stop looking away

If we helped each other, if we helped each other, but

That's not what we do best

If we loved each other

If we helped each other

If we loved each other

If we helped each other

If we loved each other

SONG MEANING

Si L’on S’aimait is a rousing anthem of solidarity from the French collective Les Enfoirés, famous for their yearly concerts supporting the charity Restos du Cœur. From the very first line, the singers dream of a night when people decide to “change the world” and finally answer the silent cries of those who suffer. The chorus keeps repeating a simple but powerful idea: if only we truly loved and helped one another, we would stop looking away, abandon indifference, and build real hope.

The song reminds us that love is not just a feeling but an action. It urges listeners to resist the “poison of indifference,” choose compassion over convenience, and sow the seeds of a kinder future. Even the playful spelling of E-N-F-O-I-R-E-S becomes a mini manifesto: En for teamwork, foi (faith) in a better tomorrow, rés for Restos and réagis (react). In short, “Si L’on S’aimait” invites you to sing along while asking yourself one question: what could the world look like if we all decided to love and help, starting now?
