Habanera (Ópera Carmen)

Love is a rebellious bird
That no one can tame
And it is in vain that we call it
If it suits him to refuse
Nothing helps, threat or prayer
One speaks well, the other is silent
And it's the other one that I prefer
He said nothing; but he pleases me

Love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a child of Bohemia
He has never, never known a law
If you do not love me, I love you
If I love you, beware!
If you do not love me
If you do not love me, I love you!
But if I love you
If I love you, beware!

The bird you thought to surprise
Beat its wings and flew away
Love is far, you can wait for it
You no longer wait for it, it is here!
All around you quickly, quickly
It comes, goes, then it returns!
You think you have it, it avoids you
You think you avoid it, it holds you!

Love, love, love, love!

Love is a child of Bohemia
He has never, never known a law
If you do not love me, I love you
If I love you, beware!
If you do not love me
If you do not love me, I love you!
But if I love you
If I love you, beware!
