Lyrics

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’une parle bien, l’autre s’etait
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère, elle n’a rien dit, mais elle me plait
L’amour est un oiseau rebelle que nul ne peut apprivoiser c’est bien en vain
qu’on l’appelle s’il lui convient de refuser. L'amour est enfant de Bohème;
il n’a 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 Bohème, 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’envoi a L’amour est
loin, tu peux l’attendre: tu ne l’attends pas, 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! 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!

Lyrics translation

Love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame
And it is quite in vain to call him if it suits him to refuse
Nothing does, threats or prayers, one speaks well, the other was
And it's the other one I prefer, she didn't say anything, but I like her
Love is a rebellious bird that no one can tame it is well in vain
call him if it suits him to refuse. Love Is Child of Bohemian;
he never knew a law
If you do not love me I love you; if I love you beware of you!
Watch yourself!
If you don't love me, if you don't love me I love you
Watch yourself! But if I love you, if I love you, beware of you!
Love is child of Bohemian, it has never never known a law
If you don't love me, I love you
If I love you, beware of you
Watch yourself! If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
Watch yourself! But if I love you, if I love you, beware of you!
The bird you thought surprised flutters and sends to love is
far away, you can wait for him: you do not wait for him, he is there
All around you, fast fast he comes, goes, then he comes back
You think you're holding him, he's avoiding you, you think you're avoiding him, he's holding you! all around
you hurry hurry, he comes, goes, then he comes back
You think you're holding him, he's avoiding you.
You think you're avoiding him, he's holding you!
