Now playing on my French song playlist:
Title: Habanera (L’amour est un oiseau rebelle) de l’opéra Carmen
Songwriter(s): Georges Bizet
Performed by: Nana Mouskouri
Lyrics I like:
L’amour est enfant de bohême
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
Translation:
Love is an unconventional child
He never, never knew a law
If you don’t love me, I love you
If I love you, watch out
🎶
Until next Music Monday, have a good week ahead.
Bonjour: A Francophile Blog 
I’ve heard this hundreds of times, both in opera houses and on recordings, but I never knew Nana Mouskouri had recorded it. It’s a good choice for your French song playlist, in any case.
