Carmen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
C'est lui qu'on vient de nous refuser
Love is a rebel bird
That no one can tame
And it's in vain that we call him
It's him that just refused us
Rien n'y fait, menaces ou prires
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait
Et c'est l'autre que je prfre
Il n'a rien dit mais il me plat
Nothing's doing it, threats or prayers
One speaks well, the other shuts up
Et it's the other i prefer
He didn't say a thing but he pleases me
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
L'amour est enfant de bohme
Il n'a jamais jamais connu de lois
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Si je t'aime prend garde toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde toi
Love, love, love, love
Love is a bohemian's child
It never knew laws
If you don't love me i love you
If i love you watch out
If you don't love me
If you don't love me i love you
But if i love you, if i love you
Watch out
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre
Tu ne l'attends plus, il est
The bird you thought to surprise
Flapped its wing and flew away
Love is far away, you can wait for it
You're no longer waiting for it, it's there
Tout autour de toi, vite, vite
Il vient, s'en va puis il revient
Tu crois le tenir, il t'vite
Tu crois l'viter, il te tient
All around you, quickly, quickly
It comes, goes away and it comes back
You believe holding it, it moves away from you
You think you're away from it, it holds you
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
L'amour est enfant de bohme
Il n'a jamais jamais connu de lois
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Si je t'aime prend garde toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas je t'aime
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde toi
Love, love, love, love
Love is a bohemian's child
It never knew laws
If you don't love me i love you
If i love you watch out
If you don't love me
If you don't love me i love you
But if i love you, if i love you
Watch out
