Poux translates to "lice". While it might seem like an unusual word for a song, it's used here in a common French idiom: "chercher des poux dans les cheveux" (to look for lice in someone's hair).
This idiom means to nitpick, find fault, or provoke an argument unnecessarily. The song uses this phrase to express frustration with someone who is being overly critical or trying to start a fight, making it an interesting and culturally specific word to learn.
Feel your heart race? “Boum Boum” turns that pulsing beat into a playful countdown, mixing the sound of explosions with the thump of a lovestruck heartbeat. Jérôme Van Den Hole sings as if romance were a stick of dynamite: every teasing word, every speck of doubt is a spark ready to ignite. The singer warns his partner to quit “looking for lice in his hair” and “dust in his eyes” – French idioms for nit-picking – because just one more push could set everything off.
Yet the threat is all part of the flirtation. When he says “J’aurai ta peau,” he is not plotting revenge; he is promising skin-to-skin closeness. The chorus celebrates the thrill of risking it all for passion: I want everything and the rest too. By the end, the repeated “la la la” feels like fireworks after the blast – carefree, euphoric, and a little wild. In short, the song paints love as a charged game where tension builds, the fuse burns, and two people leap into the joy of the explosion together.
