The song
This year’s Russian entry is a ballad with a positive message for peace. Infact Dina Garipova sings about what if we bury our guns and open up the doors.
What if I could change the path of time
What if I had the power to decide
What if I could make us unify
If I
If I
What if we would open up the doors
What if we could help each other more
What if i could make you all believe
What If
Dina Garipova Lyrics

What if I had a power to decide?
What if I could make us unified?
If I, if I…
What if we would open up the doors?
What if we could help
each other more?
I could make you all believe?
If we, if we…
What if we all opened the arms?
What if we came together as one?
What if we aimed to stop the alarms?
What if we chose to bury our guns?
Why don’t we always reach out to those
Who need us the most?
Together we can change the path of time
Together we have power to decide
The answer lies within our hearts and minds
Together, together…
Together we can make a better place
On this little island out of space
Together we can change the world forever
What if we all opened the arms
What if we came together as one
What if we aimed to stop the alarms
What if we chose to bury our guns
Let’s unite and make a change!
Let’s unite around a new page
Come on sinners, come on saints!
Have faith…
Why don’t we always reach out to those…
What if we all opened the arms
What if we came together as one
What if we aimed to stop the alarms
What if we chose to bury our guns
What if we all opened the arms
What if we came together as one
What if we aimed to stop the alarms
What if we chose to bury our guns
Why don’t we always reach out to those
Who need us the most
The lyrics of Dina Garipova's song "What If" are centered around the idea of unity and the potential for positive change that could result from it. The singer poses a series of hypothetical questions about the world and suggests that things could be different if people worked together. The opening lines "What if I could change the path of time? What if I had a power to decide?" speak to the idea of taking control and doing something about the problems of the world. The singer then continues to list other possibilities such as opening doors and helping each other more, or stopping violence and coming together to help those in need. Throughout the song, there is a sense of hope that things can be better if people just try, and a plea for people to come together in unity.
The chorus repeats the same questions, each ending with the same conditional statement, "if we if we." This emphasizes the idea that change is only possible if everyone works together, and that collective action is necessary. The lines "Why don’t we always reach out to those who need us the most?" add an emotional element to the song, calling attention to the fact that there are always people who need help and support, and that it is up to all of us to provide that help.
Overall, "What If" is a message of hope and positivity that emphasizes the need for unity and collective action to bring about change. By asking a series of hypothetical questions, the lyrics encourage listeners to think about the ways in which they can make a difference and inspire them to take action.

No matter what anyone says, this is one of the best Eurovision entries that year (ended up top 5). Plus, her English was spot-on.
