The lyrics to Jessy Matador's "Bomba" are focused on celebrating a woman's beauty and her ability to dance. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Bombastick I like your bombastick hey ho, Bombastick je veux ton bombastick hey ho," which can be translated to "I like your moves, I want your moves." The song is about a woman who catches everyone's attention when she dances, and the singer is enamored by her. He encourages her to keep dancing and to show off her curves, promising that she will have a good time if she follows him to the dance floor.
Throughout the song, the singer uses various slang words such as "kiffer" and "bandits" to describe how the woman's body impresses others to the point of admiration. He also praises her for being beautiful and sexy, encouraging her to "bomba dans la party" or dance at the party. The lyrics are upbeat, high-energy and clearly meant to make listeners want to dance along.
