Learn French vocabulary with FSV (French Song Vocabulary) Song #15, BIM BAM TOI, a fun French Bubble Gum Pop song sung by French teenage artist Carla Lazzari.
Although BIM BAM TOI, may look long with lots of complicated words, most of them are just fun sounding words, like BLABLA and BOUM (Onomatopoeia). There are only a few actual real words amongst the lyrics. This song also introduces how to say “My little heart goes crazy” and the equivalent of the expression “I’m at a lose for words“.

Les mots me MANQUENT…
Pourtant j’aimerais CRIER. Translation:
I’m at a lose for words (Words are missed by me)…
Yet, I would like to scream.
Vocabulary Notes:
MANQUER (To be missing, to be missed; vt -ER reg conj)
*** MANQUER is used differently from the English word “To miss”. For example, to say “I miss my friend”, you would have to say MON AMI ME MANQUE, which can be directly translated to “My friend is missed by me” The thing doing the missing (I/me) and the thing being missed (my friend) are reversed.
J’AIMERAIS – I would love (AIMERAIS = je conditionnel form)
