Habanera

Habanera
Love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame
And it's in vain that we call it if it chooses to refuse
Nothing works, threat or prayer, one speaks well, the other was silent
And it's the silent one that I prefer, she said nothing, but she pleases me
Love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame, it's in vain that we call it if it chooses to refuse
Love is a child of Bohemia; it has never known any law
If you don't love me, I love you; if I love you, beware!
Beware!
If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
Beware! But if I love you, if I love you, beware!
Love is a child of Bohemia, it has never known any law
If you don't love me, I love you
If I love you, beware
Beware! If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
Beware! But if I love you, if I love you, beware!
The bird you thought to surprise flaps its wings and flies away
Love is far, you can wait for it: you don't wait for it, it's there
All around you, quickly quickly it comes, goes, then returns
You think you have it, it avoids you, you think you avoid it, it holds you! all around you quickly quickly, it comes, goes, then returns
You think you have it, it avoids you
You think you avoid it, it holds you!
