Love is a Rebellious Bird


L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
que nul ne peut apprivoiser...

Love is a rebellious bird
Which none can tame...


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!

The bird you think you've surprised,
Bats its wings and flies away;
Love is far away, and you can wait for it;
Give up waiting, and it is there!
- Carmen from Carmen by George Bizet
