Comme Un Boomerang
Serge Gainsbourg
Like a Boomerang
I feel booms and bangs
Agitating my wounded heart
Love like a boomerang
Comes back to me from past days
Crying crazy tears
Of a body I had given you
I have on the tip of my tongue
Your almost erased name
Twisted like a boomerang
My mind rejected it
From my memory, because the revelry
And your love exhausted me
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 one day stop
If, like a boomerang
You don't come back to find me
Little by little I fall apart
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 crazy
Ready to damn myself for you
You who are part of the gang
Of my past seducers
Beware of this boomerang
It could make you pay
All the crazy tortures
That you made me endure
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 stupid story to cry about
My reason wavers and reels
It's ready to capsize
Under the blows of boomerangs
Of chained flashbacks
And if one day I shoot myself
It's to you that I owe it
I feel booms and bangs
Agitating my wounded heart
Love like a boomerang
Comes back to me from past days
Crying crazy tears
Of a body I had given you
