"Habanera"
Love is a mutinous bird
That nobody can tame
In vain you'll call his name
When it suits him to refuse
No point in threats or pleading voice
The first speaks well and the other's dumb
The silent one's my choice
I fancy him though he keeps mum
Love, love, love, love
Love is the child of gypsy life
The laws he loves to flout
If you won't love me, I'll love you
And if I love you, then watch out!
If you won't love me
If you won't love me, I'll love you
If I love you, watch out!
The bird you thought you'd bait
Took wing and flew away
When love's far off, it makes you wait
When you give up, it's in the way!
All around you, quickly winging by
It comes, it goes, and back again
You think you've caught it, then it's shy
When you keep clear, it's got you then!
Love, love, love, love
Love is the child of gypsy life
The laws he loves to flout
If you won't love me, I'll love you
And if I love you, then watch out!
If you won't love me
If you won't love me, I'll love you
If I love you, watch out!
