English Lyrics:

CARMEN
Love is a rebellious bird
that no one can tame,
and it’s quite useless to call him
if it suits him refuse.
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.

Not only the voice of Maria Callas, but her beauty and gift of acting on the stage; all this is God's gift for us.

[yehiaelyamani]

Following the lyrics adds even a richer experience to the sublime performance

[wjfne]

I'm tying myself to the chair and going in for another listen. If I die in the process, don't grieve for me, I died happy.

WOMAN OF EXQUISITE VOICE AND ELEGANCE WITHOUT EQUAL. THERE WILL BE NO OTHER LIKE HER

[retroloungemusic]

At 3:35, she almost sounds like a reed instrument. She hangs on that perfectly delivered beautiful note, and then falls into the -de a toi. She almost fools you at the beginning of the song and then keeps ramping up with displaying her skills as the song goes on....just as any great musician does with a solo. Maria was a vocal virtuosa.

[Yuval_L]

Everytime she sings I feel complete. A sonic architecture... She had her critics yet she was undoubtedly the greatest singer, power, the range (near 3 octaves) and that high E.

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 est un oiseau rebelle
L'amour
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
L'amour
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle
L'amour
S'il lui convient de refuser

L'amour est enfant de bohême
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
Prends garde à toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime
Prends garde à toi
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
Tout autour de toi vite vite
L'amour
Il vient s'en va puis il revient
L'amour
Tu crois le tenir il t'évite
L'amour
Tu crois l'éviter il te tient

L'amour est enfant de bohême
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
Prends garde à toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime
Prends garde à toi
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde à toi

L'amour est enfant de bohême
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
Prends garde à toi
Si tu ne m'aimes pas
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime
Prends garde à toi
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime
Prends garde à toi

What a wonderful channel! I love it ! A million hugs!

[Danielap]

Maria è Carmen. Una Carmen diversa dalle altre. Il coinvolgimento di Maria è come sempre totale e in lei è accentuata la parte seduttiva. Questo è solo l’inizio di una rivisitazione completa di Carmen che si compirà andando avanti nella partitura

[adev_]

Hard to describe how beautiful this is

[olgajereghi]

Grazie !Indimendicabile Maria Callas e la musica classica !
