L’amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera) Lyrics by Georges Bizet

Carmen

En Français
[Carmen]
L’amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c’est bien in vain qu’on l’appelle
S’il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière.
L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait.
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère.
Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait.
[Echoes Choeur]
L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!
L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)
[Echoes Choeur]
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!
L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendere
Battit d’aile et s’envola.
L’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre,
Tu ne l’attends pas, il est là!
Tout atour de toi, vite vite,
Il vient, s’en va, puis il revient.
Tu crois le tenir, il t’evite;
Tu crois l’eviter, il te tient.
[Echoes Choeur]
L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!
L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!
 
In English
[Carmen]
Love is a rebellious bird
That nobody can tame,
And you can call him, but in vain,
Because it suits him not to come.
Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other is silent;
but it's the other that I prefer.
He says nothing, but he pleases me.
[Chorus Echoes]
Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)
[Chorus Echoes]
If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
But if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!
The bird you hoped to catch
Beat its wings and flew away.
Love stays away, you wait and wait,
When least expected, there it is!
All around you, quickly quickly,
It comes and goes, and then returns.
You think you hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you.
[Chorus Echoes]
Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)
If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
but if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!
