Nothing moves him, neither threat nor plea, one man speaks freely, the other keeps mum; and it’s the other one I prefer: he’s said nothing, but I like him. Love! etc. CHORUS Love is a rebellious bird, etc. CARMEN Love is a gypsy child, he has never heard of law. If you don’t love me, I love you; if I love you, look out for yourself! etc. CHORUS Look out for yourself! etc. Love is a gypsy child etc. CARMEN The bird you thought to catch unawares beats its wings and away it flew – love’s far away, and you can wait for it: you wait for it no longer – and there it is. All around you, quickly, quickly, it comes, it goes, then it returns – you think you can hold it, it evades you, you think to evade it, it holds you fast. Love! etc. CHORUS All around you, etc. CARMEN Love is a gypsy child, he has never heard of law. If you don’t love me, I love you; if I love you, look out for yourself! If you don’t love me, I love you, etc.
