Filippa Giordano Lyrics

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
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!
The lyrics of Filippa Giordano's song "Habanera" describe the elusive nature of love and how it cannot be tamed or forced. The first verse states that love is a rebellious bird that cannot be tamed by anyone. Even when called, it may refuse to come. The singer prefers the one who says nothing but catches her eye, indicating that love is something that cannot be predicted or controlled. The second verse explains that love is a child of Bohemia and has never known any laws or rules. The singer warns that if someone does not love her, she still loves them, but if they love her back, they should beware. Love is described as something that comes and goes quickly, and it may seem like it can be caught, but it always manages to slip away, or it may catch someone when they are trying to avoid it.
The use of "Habanera" is significant because it refers to a Cuban dance style that was popular in the nineteenth century. It was known for its sensuality and passionate rhythms, which are reflected in the song's lyrics. Here, Habanera is used as a metaphor for love, which is equally passionate and unpredictable. The song also makes use of repetition as a way of emphasizing the message, highlighting the bird's elusive nature, and how love is something that can never be entirely grasped. The lyrics also show that love is both beautiful and dangerous, as it can catch someone's heart or break it.
