Love is like a rebellious bird
That no one quite knows how to t ame.
Try to call it, you won’t be heard
If to refuse you is its aim.
Nothing works, neither threat nor plea,
One man talks well, the other’s mum.
And it’s this one I’d rather see --
I like him though he’s acting dumb.
Oh love, yes love! Oh love, yes love!
Well, love is like a Gypsy child
That’s never heard of any law or rule;
If you don’t love me and I’m wild
About you, well, I say: look out, you fool!
Chorus
Look out, you fool!
Carmen
If you don’t love me, you
Don’t love me and I’m wild about you!
Chorus
Look out, you fool!
Carmen
But if I love you,
If I love you, look out, you fool!
When you thought that the bird was caught
It beat its wings and flew away;
Love is far and you wait for naught,
But don’t wait and it’s here to stay.
All around you, it comes and goes
And then comes back -- it’s uncontrolled.
Think you’ve dodged it? You’re in its throes!
It flees when you think you have a hold!
