Boum [English translation]

The pendulum goes tick, tock, tick, tick

The birds of the lake: pick, pick, pick, pick

Glou glou glou go all the turkeys

And the pretty bell goes ding dang dong

But...

Boom

When our heart goes boom

Everything with it says Boom

And it's love that awakens.

Boom

It sings: Love in Bloom

To the rhythm of this Boom

That repeats Boom in your ear

Everything has changed since yesterday

And the street has eyes that look out the windows

There is lilac and there are outstretched hands

On the sea, the sun will appear

Boom

The star of the day goes Boom

Everything with it says Boom

When our heart goes boom boom

The wind in the woods goes hoo-hoo

The doe at bay goes meeeh

Broken crockery goes crink, crink, crack

And wet feet go flick, flick, flack

But...

Boom

When our heart goes boom

Everything with it says Boom

The bird says Boom, it's a storm

Boom

The lightning that makes it go boom

And the good Lord says Boom

In his chair of clouds.

Cause my love is sharper than lightning

Lighter than a bird, than a bee

And if it goes boom, if it gets angry

It carries wonders with it.

Boom

The whole world goes boom

Everything with it says Boom

When our heart goes boom boom

Boom

I only hear Boom Boom

It's always boom boom

Boom Boom Boom ...
