Comme un boomerang [English translation]

I feel booms and bangs

Agitating my wounded heart

Love, like a boomerang,

Comes back to me from past days

Crying the crazy tears

Of a body I had given you.

I have on the tip of my tongue

Your name, almost erased

Bending like a boomerang

My mind rejected it

From my memory, because the binge

And your love tired it out.

I feel booms and bangs

Agitating my wounded heart

Love, like a boomerang,

Comes back to me from past days

Loving each other like crazy

Like two madmen.

Know that this bloodless heart

Could someday stop

If, like a boomerang,

You don't come back to get me

Little by little, I falter,

Victim of your cruelty.

I feel booms and bangs

Agitating my wounded heart

Love, like a boomerang,

Comes back to me from past days

Loving you like a madman

Ready for you to damn myself.

You, being part of the gang

Of my past lovers

Be wary of that boomerang

Which could make you pay

For all that crazy torture

You've put me through.

I feel booms and bangs

Agitating my wounded heart

Love, like a boomerang,

Comes back to me from past days

It's a crazy story

A silly story

My reason wobbles and sways

It is ready to capsize

Under the boomerang hitting

With chained flashbacks

And if one day I shoot myself

It's to you that I'll owe it.

I feel booms and bangs

Agitating my wounded heart

Love, like a boomerang,

Comes back to me from past days

Crying the crazy tears

Of a body I had given you
