Boum (Boom)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The clock goes tic-tac tic-tac.
The birds in the lake, pic-pic pac-pac.
Glug-glug-glug go the turkeys,
And the pretty bell, ding-din-don, but ... 


Bang, when our heart goes boom,
Everything with it says boom, and love awakens.
Boom, he’s singing "Love in Bloom."
The rhythm of this boom caroling boom in the ear.

Everything has changed since yesterday,
And the street has eyes that look in the windows.
There are trains of lilacs draped over the sea, and the sun appears.

Boom, the sun goes boom.
Everything with it says boom,
When our heart goes boom.

FRENCH ORIGINAL:
La pendul-e fait tic-tac tic-tac,
Les oiseaux du lac, pic-pac pic-pac.
Glou-glou-glou font les dindons,
Et la jolie clo-che ding-din-don, mais… 


Boum, quand notre coeur fait boum.
Tout avec lui dit boum, et c'est l'amour qui s'évei-lle.
Boum, il chan-te "love in bloom,"
Au rhyth-me de ce boum, qui rédit boum à l'orei-lle.

Tout a changé depuis hier,
et la rue a des yeux qui regardent aux fenêtres.
'Ya, du lilas et des trains tendues.
Sur la mer, le soleil va paraitre.

Boum, l'astre du jour fait boum.
Tout avec lui dit boum, quand notre coeur fait boum.

Words and music by Charles Trenet
