Boum! [English translation]

The clock goes tic-tac tic-tic.

The birds on the lake go pic-pac pic-pic.

Glou-glou-glou go all the turkeys

and the pretty bell goes ding-dang-dong.

But boom!

When our heart goes boom,

all say "boom" with it

and love awakens.

Boom!

It sings "Love in Bloom"

to the rhythm of this boom

that repeats "boom" in the ear.

All has changed since yesterday

and the street has eyes

that look from the windows.

There are lilacs and

hands reaching out

over the sea—

the sun is going to come out!

Boom!

The sun goes boom—

all say "boom" with it

when our heart goes boom-boom.

The wind in the woods goes hou-hou-hou.

The doe at bay goes meeh-meeh-meeh.

Broken dishes go cric-cric-crac

and wet feet go flic-flic-flac.

But boom!

When our heart goes boom,

all say "boom" with it—

the bird says "boom"—

it's the storm.

Yeah boom!

The lightning that goes boom to him

and the good God says "boom"

on his armchair of clouds.

For my love is brighter than lightning,

lighter than a bird, than a bee,

and if it goes boom when it becomes angry,

it brings along with it some wonders.

Boom!

The whole world says "boom"—

the entire universe says "boom"

because my heart goes boom-boom.

Boom!

I hear nothing but boom-boom!

It always goes boom-boom!

It always goes boom—

boom—

boom-ti-boom!
