Act 1: L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera)(original) |
| 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 |
| Rien n’y fait, menaces ou prieres |
| L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait |
| Et c’est l’autre que je prefere |
| Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait |
| L’amour, l’amour, l’amour, l’amour |
| L’amour est enfant de boheme |
| Il n’a jamais jamais connu de lois |
| Si tu ne m’aimes pas je t’aime |
| Si je t’aime prend garde a 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 a 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’attends plus, il est la |
| Tout autour 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 |
| L’amour, l’amour, l’amour, l’amour |
| L’amour est enfant de boheme |
| Il n’a jamais jamais connu de lois |
| Si tu ne m’aimes pas je t’aime |
| Si je t’aime prend garde a 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 a toi |
| (translation) |
| Love is a rebellious bird |
| That no one can tame |
| And it is in vain that it is called |
| He's the one we've just been denied |
| Nothing helps, threats or prayers |
| One speaks well, the other is silent |
| And it's the other that I prefer |
| He didn't say anything but I like it |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Love is bohemian child |
| He never never knew any laws |
| If you don't love me I love you |
| If I love you take care |
| If you don't love me |
| If you don't love me I love you |
| But if I love you, if I love you |
| Beware |
| The bird you thought you'd surprise |
| flapped its wings and flew away |
| Love is far away, you can wait for it |
| You don't expect him anymore, he's here |
| All around you, fast, fast |
| It comes, it goes, then it comes back |
| You think you got it, it avoids you |
| You think you're avoiding him, he's got you |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Love is bohemian child |
| He never never knew any laws |
| If you don't love me I love you |
| If I love you take care |
| If you don't love me |
| If you don't love me I love you |
| But if I love you, if I love you |
| Beware |
