LA HABANERA<br />Love is a rebellious bird<br />That nothing can tame,<br />And it's quite in vain to call it,<br />If it's convenient for it to refuse.<br /><br />Threat and prayer do nothing.<br />One speaks well, the other silences,<br />And it's the other that I prefer,<br />It's said nothing, but I like it.<br /><br />Love! Love! Love! Love!<br /><br />Love is a child of the Bohemian way.<br />It has never, never known the law.<br />If you don't love me, I love you.<br />If I love you, watch out!<br /><br />If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you,<br />But if I love you, if I love you, watch out!<br /><br />The bird you thought you'd surprise<br />Beat its wings and flew away.<br />Love is far, you cannot wait for it.<br />You're not waiting, it is there!<br /><br />All around you, apace, apace,<br />It comes and goes and then returns.<br />You think to hold it, it eludes you.<br />You think to elude it, it holds you.<br /><br />Love! Love! Love! Love!<br /><br />Love is a child of the Bohemian way.<br />It has never, never known the law.<br />If you don't love me, I love you.<br />If I love you, watch out!<br /><br />If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you,<br />But if I love you, if I love you, watch out!
