Song Meaning of “Badaboum” by Buridane
Verse 1:
There once was a love that was lost,
A fleeting glimpse that we had crossed,
But faded away to the dust of time,
A memory too hard to define.
Chorus:
Badaboum, Badaboum,
Where has that love gone to?
Badaboum, Badaboum,
It didn’t stay too long.
Verse 2:
The days we shared together, so dear,
Are far away, but still so near,
Making us wonder and sigh,
As we question whether or why.
Chorus:
Badaboum, Badaboum,
Where has that love gone to?
Badaboum, Badaboum,
It didn’t stay too long.
Bridge:
When love comes and disappears,
We search for its truth inside of our tears,
Trying to make sense of the love we had,
Letting go of what we can’t have.
Chorus:
Badaboum, Badaboum,
Where has that love gone to?
Badaboum, Badaboum,
It didn’t stay too long.
Interpretation:
‘Badaboum’ is a song about a love that wasn’t meant to last. The narrator looks back on their past relationship fondly, but with a sense of melancholic acceptance of how short it was. The refrain of ‘Badaboum’ conveys the feeling of emptiness after realizing the love is gone. The bridge speaks of the difficulty of letting go, and questioning why things ended the way they did. In the end, the narrator comes to terms with the fact that the love didn’t last and that it’s part of life.
