"Boom", by Charles Trenet (original version)

Verse 1:

The clock goes tic toc tic tic
The birds of the lake quick quack quick quick
Gobble gobble gobble go all the tom turkeys
And the pleasing bells bing bang bong

But...

Boom
When our hearts go Boom
Everything about it says Boom
And it's love which is awakened

Boom
It sings "love in bloom"
To the rythym of that Boom
Which repeats Boom to the ears

Everything has changed since yesterday
And on the street are eyes which look from the windows
There are lilacs and there are open hands
Over the ocean the sun will be rising

Boom
The daytime stars go Boom
Everything about it says Boom
When our hearts go Boom Boom

Verse 2:

The wind in the woods goes whoo oo oo
The does at bay go baa aa aa
The broken dishes go crick crick crack
And the wet feet go flip flip flap

But...

Boom
When our hearts go Boom
Everything about it says Boom
The bird says Boom, it's the thunderstorm

Boom
The lightning that he makes goes Boom
And the good Lord says Boom
In his throne of clouds

For my love is more lively
Than lightning, lighter than a bird, a queen bee
And if it goes Boom, if it colors itself
It will carry us away with the marvels

Boom
The whole world goes Boom
The whole universe goes Boom Boom
Because my heart goes Boom Boom
I hear only Boom Boom
That always goes Boom Boom...
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom
