Maria Callas -- Habanera (1962) fra Bizets "Carmen"

Hej deruden i cyperspace,

Som den operaelsker jeg nu er, så faldt jeg lige over denne her video på Youtube med en af de største opera-divaer: Marie Callas.

Hun synger Habanera (aria) fra Bizets "Carmen".



Til dem der ikke kan forstå hvad der bliver sunget om så er der her en lille oversættelse:

Love is a rebellious bird
that nobody can tame,
and you call him quite in vain
if it suits him not to come.
Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other's mum;
it's the other one that I prefer.
He's silent but I like his looks.
Love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a Bohemian child,
it has never, ever, known the law;
love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware! etc.

The bird you thought you had caught
beat its wings and flew away ...
love stays away, you wait and wait;
when least expected, there it is!
All around you, swift, so swift,
it comes, it goes, and then returns ...
you think you hold it fast, it flees
you think you're free, it holds you fast.
Love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a Bohemian child,
it has never, ever, known the law;
love me not, then I love you;
if I love you, you'd best beware!

Medic out.
