- It's you! - It's me!
I was warned that you weren't far away,
that you would come.
I was even told I should fear for my life.
But I'm brave! I'm not one to run away!
I'm not threatening you!
I'm begging and imploring!
Our past life, Carmen,
I'll forget our past life!
Yes, together we can start
a new life,
far from here,
in another country!
You're asking the impossible!
Carmen has never told a lie!
Her heart will not be moved.
Between you and her all is over!
I've never told a lie!
All is over between us!
Carmen, there's still time.
Yes, there's still time.
O my Carmen, let me save you whom I adore!
Ah, let me save you and save myself with you!
No! I know the time has come and you're going to kill me.
But whether I live or die, no!
I won't give in to you!
Ah, there's still time...
Why do you still trouble yourself over a heart which is no longer yours?
Ah, let me save you and save myself with you!
- In vain you say, I adore you! - O my Carmen!
You'll get nothing from me, ah, it's all in vain...
Then you love me no more?
Then you love me no more!
No, I love you no more.
But, Carmen, I still love you.
Carmen, alas, I adore you!
What good will this do? You're wasting words!
Carmen, I love you, I adore you!
Well then, if it has to be, if such is your whim,
I'll stay a bandit, do anything you want.
Anything, do you hear?
But don't leave me, oh, my Carmen.
Ah, remember the past!
We loved each other not long ago!
Ah, don't leave me, Carmen!
Carmen will never give way!
Free she was born and free she will die!
Viva! What a marvellous fight!
Viva! Across the bloodstained sand the bull comes bounding out!
Look! The tormented bull comes bounding out! Look!
Struck right in the heart! Look!
Victory!
- Where are you going? - Let me get past!
That man they're all shouting for, he's your new lover!
On my soul, you won't get past, Carmen, you'll come with me!
Let me get past, Don José, I'll never go with you!
You'll go to him. Tell me, do you love him, then?
I love him!
I love him and, in the face of death itself,
I'll repeat that I love him!
Viva! What a marvellous fight!
The bull comes bounding out! Look!
The tormented bull comes bounding out! Look!
So I shall have lost my soul's salvation for you,
so that you, infamous woman, might laugh at me from his arms!
No, by my blood, you shall not go!
Carmen, you shall come with me!
No, no! Never!
I'm weary of threatening you!
Well then!
Strike me now, or let me pass!
Victory!
For the last time, you demon,
will you come with me?
No! no!
This is the ring you gave me once.
Take it!
Then you are damned!
Toreador, on guard! Toreador!
And as you do battle, don't forget
that two dark eyes are watching you
and that love awaits you, toreador!
You can arrest me...
I killed her!
Ah, Carmen!
Carmen whom I adored!
