Lyrics

Georges Bizet - Habanera

Quand je vous aimerai?
Ma foi, je ne sais pas,
Peut-être jamais, peut-être demain.
Mais pas aujourd'hui, c'est certain.

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 Bohème,
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!
Si tu ne m'aimes pas,
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime! Georges Bizet - Habanera - http://motolyrics.com/georges-bizet/habanera-lyrics-english-translation.html
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prends garde à 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 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'attends 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 Bohème,
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! (x2)

Georges Bizet - Carmen-Habanera (English translation)

Love is like a wild bird
Who wants to tame him
Will have a hard time
Just priceless will you call for him
If he doesn't want to
He won't be coming.

Nothing to drone and request
No flatter and no anger will help
The other one has suffered
Even though he remains silent
I am good for him.

Yes, good
Yes, good
Yes, good
Only courage

Love is like a gypsy-type
There are no rules made for them
Even if you don't love me:
I love you
And I love you

Be aware of yourself!
Even if you don't love me
Even if you don't love me:
I love you!
And when I love you
Really love you
Be aware of yourself!

Do you believe you've caught the birdGeorges Bizet - Habanera - http://motolyrics.com/georges-bizet/habanera-lyrics-english-translation.html
A stroke of wing abducts him from you;
Love lets you tremble
Though you're not trembling anymore
And she's here.
She's revolving around you in any hour

She nears
Escapes
Nears again;
The one you want to hold has disappeared
And once you have her
She already got you!

So you
Yes, you
Especially you
Listen

Love is like a gypsy-type
There are no rules made for them
Even if you don't love me:
I love you
And I love you

Be aware of yourself!
Even if you don't love me
Even if you don't love me:
I love you!
And when I love you
Really love you
Be aware of yourself!
