Lyrics
Habanera (Ópera 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
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 plaît
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'aime pas, je t'aime
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre
Tu ne l'attend plus, il est là!
Tout autour de toi vite, vite
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient!
Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite
Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient!
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'aime pas, je t'aime
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime
Si je t'aime, prend garde à toi!
