Boum Boum Boum Lyrics in English MIKA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Boum Boum Boum by MIKA from French to English.
Intro
Boom boom boom
Even American women understand
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
No matter the place, the context
We've always got a good excuse
To drop our
When you and I do it
Boom boom boom
When you're not here I do whatever
I pile on pounds of tequila
I sing Oum Kalthoum songs
I only think about our boom boom boom
And all the bourgeois of the Sixteenth
Wonder why I love you
So there's no need for a zoom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom
Boom boom boom
Yesterday we were at your mom's
She almost fell to the floor
Hearing the dressing room
When you and I were doing it
Boom boom boom
In hotel elevators
We rode up to seventh heaven
We tell the bellboys to get lost
When you and I go boom boom boom
And all the bourgeois of the Sixteenth
Wonder why I love you
So there's no need for a zoom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom
Boom boom boom
When we welcome guests
We can't even resist
Between the tea and the loukoums
There's time to go boom boom boom
It's true the walls have ears
And all the neighbors wake up
But that's how we make love
When you and I go boom boom boom
And all the bourgeois of the Sixteenth
Wonder why I love you
So there's no need for a zoom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Loving each other like that isn't vulgar
We've always got something to do
The shelves go
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom
Boom boom boom
One plus one always makes two
Two plus two makes whatever we want
It's like Brahim Asloum's punches
You plus me goes boom boom boom
No need to run around
That's the only thing that makes me travel
Not the palm trees of Tulum
When you and I go boom boom boom
And all the bourgeois of the Sixteenth
Wonder why I love you
So there's no need for a zoom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Loving each other like that isn't vulgar
We've always got something to do
The shelves go
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
When you and I go boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
Boom boom, boom boom boom
When you and I go boom boom boom

SONG MEANING

Boum Boum Boum turns the sound of a racing heartbeat into a playful, irresistible anthem of passion. Throughout the track, MIKA gleefully shows that love speaks louder than language barriers—even Americans get it, he jokes—because everyone understands that quick, thumping rhythm that signals desire. Whether the lovers are in a hotel elevator, a family home or politely serving tea to guests, they simply cannot resist sneaking away for one more round of boum boum boum. The chorus itself mimics both a pounding heart and the creak of furniture, making the whole song feel cheeky, physical and universal at once.

By mixing pop hooks with French lyrics, name-dropping icons like Oum Kalthoum and teasing the uptight “bourgeois of the 16th,” MIKA celebrates love that ignores rules, borders or social expectations. The message is clear: true passion needs no fancy setting, no perfect timing, not even a camera’s zoom. All it takes is two people, a spark and that unmistakable boom-boom-boom that makes the world fade away.
