    This is such a joyful and uplifting song at a time when the world was in such chaos. I am French Canadian so I understand the lyrics, which are on the surface lovely and innocent and illustrate the spirit of the (European) French culture of that era. However, under the flowery lyrics and imagery is an underlying message about a French culture that dealt with its strife by focusing on love and life. Very admirable indeed.

    This is honestly just the best song ever recorded. So rhythmic, melodious, infectious, bright and full of joy. I could listen to it a thousand times and never, ever grow tired of it. "Boum!" deserves its exclamation point. It's an explosion of effervescent musical glory, a lively, toe-tapping celebration of every heartbeat, every sunrise, every brilliant second of being alive in this world. It brightens the darkest moment of the darkest day you could imagine. Its one and only flaw: it ends.

    1. La pendule fait tic tac tic tac
    Les oiseaux du lac font pic pic pic pic
    Glou glou glou font tous les dindons
    Et la jolie cloche ding din don
    Mais ...
    Boum
    Quand notre cœur fait Boum
    Tout avec lui dit Boum
    Et c'est l'amour qui s'éveille.
    Boum
    Il chante "love in bloom"
    Au rythme de ce Boum
    Qui redit Boum à l'oreille
    Tout a changé depuis hier
    Et la rue a des yeux qui regardent aux fenêtres
    Y a du lilas et y a des mains tendues
    Sur la mer le soleil va paraître
    Boum
    L'astre du jour fait Boum
    Tout avec lui dit Boum
    Quand notre cœur fait Boum Boum
    2. Le vent dans les bois fait hou hou hou
    La biche aux abois fait mê mê mê
    La vaisselle cassée fait cric crin crac
    Et les pieds mouillés font flic flic flac
    Mais...
    Boum
    Quand notre cœur fait Boum
    Tout avec lui dit Boum
    L'oiseau dit Boum, c'est l'orage
    Boum
    L'éclair qui lui fait boum
    Et le bon Dieu dit Boum
    Dans son fauteuil de nuages.
    Car mon amour est plus vif que l'éclair
    Plus léger qu'un oiseau qu'une abeille
    Et s'il fait Boum s'il se met en colère
    Il entraîne avec lui des merveilles.
    Boum
    Le monde entier fait Boum
    Tout l'univers fait Boum
    Parc'que mon cœur fait Boum Boum
    Boum
    Je n'entends que Boum Boum
    Ça fait toujours Boum Boum
    Boum Boum Boum...

    I first came across "Boum" (Charles Trenet) when I was watching a WW2 documentary. The scene on the computer screen showed France mobilizing for war against Nazi Germany. The background music was, Boum, sung by Trenet. Of course at the time I didn't know that. I next heard Boum by Trenet on the 2001 romance comedy, "Festival In Cannes". It's an uplifting tune. I don't know if it could be sung in English and still be the same.

    This song was very popular in 1940 between the invasion of Poland in 39, & the invasion of France in 1940. He entertained the French and British troops during the time of the "phony war" the pause before the battle for France. It was used in all the newsreels showing what was happening "over there". The Germans could be seen preparing only a mere 100 meters or so away. Nobody wanted to take a shot, all just hoping it would not happen again. Saga commercial brought me here too. Great tune!

    Charles Trenet is a giant among the cultural ambassadors of France, which is a giant among the cultural meccas of the world. When I think of old time French music I think of Trenet and Edith Piaf.
