Charlotte Church - Habanera Lyrics
From carmenQuand je vous aimerai?Ma foi, je ne sais pas,Peut-tre jamais, peut-tre demain.Mais pas aujourdhui, cest certain.Lamour est un oiseau rebelleQue nul ne peut apprivoiser,Et cest bien en vain quon lappelle,Sil lui convient de refuser.Rien ny fait, menace ou prire,Lun parle bien, lautre se tait;Et cest lautre que je prfreIl na rien dit; mais il me plaît.Lamour! lamour! lamour! lamour!Lamour est enfant de bohme,Il na jamais, jamais connu de loi,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Si tu ne maime pas,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime!Mais, si je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Si tu ne maime pas,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime!Mais, si je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Loiseau que tu croyais surprendreBattit de laile et senvola;Lamour est loin, tu peux lattendre;Tu ne lattend plus, il est l!Tout autour de toi vite, vite,Il vient, sen va, puis il revient!Tu crois le tenir, il tvite;Tu crois lviter, il te tient!Lamour, lamour, lamour, lamour!Lamour est enfant de bohme,Il na jamais, jamais connu de loi,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Si tu ne maime pas, je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Si tu ne maime pas,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime!Mais, si je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Si tu ne maime pas,Si tu ne maime pas, je taime!Mais, si je taime,Si je taime, prend garde toi!Translation:When will I love you?Good lord, I dont know,Maybe never, maybe tomorrow.But not today, thats certain.Love is a rebellious birdThat nothing can tame,And it is simply in vain to call itIf it is convient for it to refuse.Nothing will work, threat or pleading,One speaks, the other stays quiet;And its the other that I preferHe said nothing; but he pleases me.Love! love! love! love!Love is the child of the bohemian,It has never, never known any law,If you dont love me, I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!If you dont love me,If you dont love me, I love you!But, if I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!If you dont love me,If you dont love me, I love you!But, if I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!The bird you thought to surpriseBat its wing and flew away;Love is far away, you can wait for it;If you wait for it no more, it is there!All around you, quickly, quickly,It comes, goes, then it comes back!You think to hold it, it avoids you;You think to avoid it, it holds you!Love, love, love, love!Love is the child of the bohemian,It has never, never known any law,If you dont love me, I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!If you dont love me, I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!If you dont love me,If you dont love me, I love you!But, if I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!If you dont love me,If you dont love me, I love you!But, if I love you,If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
