"You wouldn't know him?" "Don José!" "Oh yes, we all know him." "You do?" "And is he here with you, if you please?" "The corporal is not in our troop." "Oh, then he's not here?" "No, sweetheart!" "No, sweetheart!" "He isn't here." "But in a while, he'll be along." "But in a while, he'll be along." "When the relieving guard takes over for the old guard."

"So help me, we shall treat your ladyship from head to feet with all the respect we rightly should." "I have no doubt of it." "And yet I shall come back." "Just to be safe, I shall come back!" "I shall come back when the relieving guard takes over for the old guard." " I shall come back..." " You'd better stay because the relieving guard will take over for the old guard." " You'll stay!"

" Yes, four or five hundred of them." "But we're not allowed in because they're always half naked in there especially the younger ones." "So that's why you're hanging around, keeping your eyes peeled!" "The truth is, I don't have dealings with those kind of women." "Andalusian girls are not for me." "You don't say!" "Perhaps we've taken a fancy to blue skirts and blond tresses?" "You heard Morales talking to me, sir?" "It's the local costume in Navarre." "It reminds me of home." "You come from Navarre?" "My name's Don José Lizzara Benoga." "I left home to enlist in the Dragoons." "That girl was taken in by my mother." "Her name's Micaëla." "There goes the bell."

"And a little money too to help you eke out your pay." "And then..." "And then?" "And then..." "Oh, I really dare not." "And then..." "And then something else that's worth more than money!" "And which, for a good son is doubtless without price." "This something else, what is it?" " Tell me." " Yes, I'll tell you." "What she gave me I'll give to you." "As your mother and I came out of chapel right there she gave me a kiss." "You're going, said she, to go to town." "It's not far at all." "Once you're in Seville you will seek out my son my José, my child!" "You will seek out my son my José my child!" "And you will tell him that his mother thinks night and day about her absent boy." "She misses him, and hopes." "She pardons him, and waits." "You'll tell him all of that from me won't you, my dear, says she." "And this kiss I give you you'll give it to him from me." "A kiss from my mother!" " A kiss for her son!" " A kiss from my mother!" "A kiss for her son!" "José, here it is just as I promised." "My mother, I can see her!" "Yes, I can see my village!" "O memories of days gone by!" "Sweet memories of home!" "His mother, he can see her!" "He can see his village!" "O memories of days gone by!" "O dearest memories!" "You fill my heart with strength and courage!" "O dearest memories!" "His mother, he can see her!" "He can see his village!" "Who knows to what devil I would have fallen prey!" "Even from far off my mother protects me." "And this kiss she sends me." "This kiss she sends me shields her boy and keeps the peril away." "What devil?" "What peril?" "I don't quite understand." "What does that mean?" "Nothing!" "Nothing!" "Let's talk of you, young messenger." "Are you going back to the village?" "Yes, this very night." "I'll see your mother." "You'll see her!" "Well, then!" "Do tell her that her son loves and reveres her." "And that he's sorry now for all he did." "He'd like for his mother to be proud of him!" "You'll say that all to her won't you now, dear girl, from me?" "And this kiss I give you you'll pass it on to her from me." "Yes, I promise you." "From her son."

"He can see his village!" "" My boy, I'm getting well on in years." "And you should be thinking of marrying." "The girl I would advise you to choose is the one who brings you my letter."" " I shouldn't be here." " And the answer?" "I'll come to pick it up before I go." ""There's none sweeter." "And above all, there's none that loves you so well."" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Can't you hear?" "Help!" "Hey, you soldiers!" "It's Carmencita!" "No, no, it isn't her!" "It's Carmencita!" " No, it isn't her at all!" " It's her!" "It is!" "Sir!" "Listen to us, listen!" "Don't listen to them!" "Sir!" "Listen to us!" "Sir!" "Listen to us, listen!" "Sir!" "Listen to us!" "Manuelita was saying loud, so everyone could hear she'd buy a donkey that caught her eye." "Then said Carmencita, ever one to mock and rant "What do you want a donkey for?" "A broom is all you want!"" "Manuelita answered back, and cried loud as a bell..." "" For the ride I have in mind, the donkey'd suit you well!" "For on that day, you'll ride with your nose stuck in the air!" "Two lackeys will follow to beat the flies out of your hair!"" "At that, the two of them grabbed each other by the hair." "At that, the two of them grabbed each other by the hair!" "To the devil with this chatter!" "To the devil with this chatter!" "José, take two men with you and go inside to see what's behind this racket." "It's Carmencita!" "No, no, it isn't her!" "It's Carmencita!" " No, it isn't her!" " It is!" "It's her!"

"She started it!" "It was Carmencita!" "It was you." "Let's see, corporal." "Now that we have a little silence what did you find in there?" " I saw this woman." " And so?" "She was pretending to work, but she's the one who slashed her." "She asked for it." "I was only standing up for myself." " Was the other woman hurt?" " Not badly, sir." "So, my beauty, did you hear that?" "Have you anything to say for yourself?" "Speak up." "I'm waiting." "Tra la la la la la!" "Cut me, burn me!" "I'll not tell you a thing." "Tra la la la la la!" "I'll dare it all." "Fire, steel and heaven itself!" "I didn't ask for songs." "I want an answer." "Tra la la la la la!" "My secret I shall keep, and keep it well." "Tra la la la la la!" "I love another, and I'll die saying so!" "So that's your tune, is it?" "There were knife wounds, and she's the one who inflicted them." "Well, you have a ready hand!" "Find a rope." "Here, take this rope and tie up those pretty hands." "It's really a pity because she's a nice girl." "But however nice you are a little spell in jail won't do you any harm." "You can sing your gypsy songs in there and the jailer will tell you what he thinks of them." "I'll make out the order." "You're going to take her." "How tight you've tied this rope!" "My wrists will break." "If it hurts, I can loosen it." "Let me get away." "This is no time to talk such nonsense!" "You come from Navarre, don't you?" "So do I." "With that mouth and that hair?" "Everything about you is gypsy." " Gypsy, you say!" " I'm sure of it." "Yes, I am a gypsy." "So what?" "That won't stop you from doing what I want." "I saw where you hid the flower." "You can throw it away now." "It's stayed long enough upon your heart." "The charm has worked." "Hold your tongue." "I forbid you to speak to me." "Very well, your Worship." "You bid me hold my tongue." "I'll say no more." "By the ramparts of Sevilla" "At the place of Lillas Pastia" "I'll go dance the seguidilla" "And take a glass of manzanilla" "At the place of Lillas Pastia" "But of myself I'm bored The only pleasure's one you share" "So I'll take along my man And then we'll make a cozy pair" "But my lover" "He's gone to hell!" "Last night he went out on his ear" "My poor heart's longing to forget" "My heart is ever free as air" "I count my beaus by dozens" "But I'll have none of them" "The week's work is over now" "Who will love me?"

"I'm thinking of a certain officer. ...who loves me." "And whom I could maybe love myself!" "Carmen!" "My officer's not a captain." "He's not even a lieutenant." "He is only a corporal." "But that's good enough for a gypsy." "And I'm ready to make do with that." "Carmen, I feel as if I'm drunk." "If I give way, if I give in your promise, you'll keep it?" "If I love you, Carmen Carmen, you'll love me!" " Yes." " At Lillas Pastia's place." "We'll dance." " You promise?" " The seguidilla." "And take a glass of manzanilla." "You promise?" "By the ramparts of Sevilla" "At the place of Lillas Pastia" "We'll go dance the seguidilla" "And take a glass of manzanilla" "Take care!" "Here are your orders:" "Get going."

"I'm sorry gentlemen, but it's getting a bit late." "And I'm bound to obey the rules." "The Corregidor isn't well-disposed towards me." "Because your inn is the local headquarters for smugglers!" "God knows what goes on after hours." "It's time, gentlemen." "We've still got time for the theatre before roll call." " Coming with us, my lovelies?" " No, gentlemen, we're staying here." " What about you, Mercedes?" " Impossible!" " And you, Carmen?" "You won't refuse." " I do refuse." "You've got it in for me because I sent you to jail." "To jail?" "Me?"

" Well then, you will listen to me!" " I don't want to hear!" " You'll listen!" " They're waiting for you!" " You'll listen!" " You are going to listen!" " No, no, no!" "You're going to listen." "Carmen, I mean it!" "The flower you threw at my feet in my prison cell I kept it by my side." "It wilted and died this flower but always it smelled just as sweet." "And for hours on end with my eyelids shut tight you'd be there in the night as I drank in its heavenly scent!" "You'd be there in the night." "I would curse you!" "And in hate to myself I would say:" "Why must it be that fate has put her here in my way?" "But my blasphemy then I'd regret." "For I'd feel I'd feel my only desire my only desire my only hope:" "To see you once again!" "O, Carmen!" "Yes to see you once again." "You had but to appear, oh my sweet but to turn your eyes my way and over my soul again you'd hold sway." "Oh, Carmen!" "I fell at your feet!" "Carmen I love you!" "No!" "You don't love me." " What are you saying?" " No!" "You don't love me." "No!" "For if you loved me out there you'd follow me out there." "Yes, out there to the mountains." "You'd follow me out there." "You'd take me upon your horse and as you bravely flew across country riding pillion, I'd go with you." "Out there, in the mountains." "You'd follow me out there if you loved me." "You'd be at no one's beck and call." "No officer giving you orders no sounding the retreat to tell a lover that he should be leaving!" "The open sky, the roving life!" "The universe for your home!" "Your only law your own desires!" "And above all, the intoxicating pleasure:" "Liberty!" "Liberty!" "Good God!" "Out there in the mountains." " Out there, if you love me!" " Be quiet!" "Out there, you'd follow me!" "You'd take me upon your horse!" " Carmen!" "Can't you be quiet!" " You'd take me upon your horse." "And as you bravely flew across country riding pillion I'd go with you, if you loved me!" " Oh Lord, have mercy!" " Yes, you will." "Won't you?" " Please, Carmen, have mercy!" " Out there, you'll follow me." "You'll follow me!" "Out there, out there, you'll follow me." "You love me and you'll follow me." "Out there, out there take me out there." "No!" "I won't listen any more!" "Abandoning the flag, deserting..." "The shame of it, the infamy!" "I want no part of it!" "Well then, go!" " Carmen, I beg you!" " No!" "I don't love you any more!" " Listen!" " Go away, I hate you!" " Carmen!" " Goodbye!" "Goodbye forever!" "Very well!" "Goodbye then." "Goodbye forever!" "Get out!" "Goodbye, Carmen!" "Goodbye forever!" "Goodbye!" "Hello!" "Carmen!" "Hello!" "Who's that knocking?" "Who's there?" "Keep quiet!" "Keep quiet!" "I'll open the door myself." "I'm coming in." "Oh, for shame, my beauty!" "That's a pretty poor choice." "It's beneath you to take the soldier when you could have the officer." "Right, you!" "Get out of here!" "No!" "Oh yes, you will!" "Clear out!" " I shan't go!" " Rogue!" "By thunder!" "I will rain blows upon you!" "The deuce with his jealousy!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Fine officer..." "Fine officer right now, love's playing you such a dirty trick!" "You've come at quite the wrong time!" "You've come at quite the wrong time, I'm afraid." "And since we don't want to be given away we're forced to hold you for at least an hour." "My dear sir!" "My dear sir!" "By your leave, we're now obliged to leave this house." "Will you be coming with us?" "Will you be coming with us?" "For a little stroll?" "Will you be so kind?" "Do answer, dear fellow!" "Certainly." "Especially since your arguments are such as one can hardly resist." "But take care!" "Take care later!" "In war, no holds are barred!" "Meanwhile, lieutenant..." "Come along with no more ado!" "Are you one of us now?" "So it would seem!" "That's hardly gallant." "But what of it?" "Come on, you'll get used to it when you see how grand it is to wander free." "The universe for your home!" "Your only law your own desires!" "And above all, the intoxicating pleasure:" "Liberty!" "Liberty!" "Across the country, follow us!" "Come with us into the mountains!" "Follow us out there, and you'll soon see how grand it is to wander free!" "The universe for your home!" "Your only law your own desires!" "And above all, the intoxicating pleasure:" "Liberty!" "Yes, liberty!" "Listen, comrade, listen here!" "Fortune lies out there, out there!" "But on the way, look out, take care!" "Watch your footing along the way!" "Watch your footing along the way!" "Watch your footing along the way!" "Halt!" "We'll stop here." "José, stand guard over there." "Paco, you go there." "We're off to make sure all is well." " Carmen, let's make peace." " No!" "So, you don't love me anymore?" "One thing's sure:" "I don't love you nearly so much as I did." "I'll end up not loving you at all." "I don't want to be harassed or given orders." "What I want is to be free to do what I wish." "If you speak again of separation..." "What will you do?" "Kill me?" "Shuffle!" "Cut!" "Right, that's it!" "Three cards here four here!" "And now, my beauties, tell us all." "Tell us your news of the future!" "Tell us who will play us false!" "Tell us who will love us true!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us who will play us false!" "Tell us who will love us true!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "I see a young man come courting and he's madly in love with me!" "Mine's very rich and very old but he wants to marry me!" "He takes me upon his horse and carries me off into the mountains!" "In a castle fit for a king mine sets me up like a queen!" "Love that goes on and on." "Every day, another excess!" "More gold than I can hold, diamonds, all kinds of gems!" "Mine becomes a famous leader with a hundred men at his back!" "Mine..." "Can I believe my eyes?" "Yes, he dies!" "I'm a widow." "And I'm rich!" "Again, my beauties, tell us all!" "Of the future, tell us your news!" "Tell us who will play us false!" "Tell us who will love us true!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Tell us who will play us false!" "Tell us who will love us true!" "Fortune!" "Love!" "Now let me have my turn." "Diamonds!" "Spades!" "Death!" "I read it right!" "First me, then him." "For both of us death!" "In vain, to avoid an unwelcome reply..." "In vain, you shuffle!" "All in vain." "The cards are honest." "They will never lie." "If it's written in the stars that you're destined for joy then shuffle and cut without fear." "The card you hold then you will decry and happiness it will declare." "But if you must die if that terrible word is inscribed as your fate twenty times more you may try it." "That pitiless card will ever repeat itself:" "Death!" "Yes, if you must die twenty times more you may try it." "That pitiless card will ever repeat itself:" "Death!" "Again and again!" "Always death!" "Again, my beauties, tell us all!" "Of the future, tell us your news!" "Despair!" "Death!" "Death!" "Death again!" " Fortune!" " Love!" "Death again!" " Fortune!" " Love!" "Death again!" "Again and again and again!" "Hey, Carmen!" "Mercedes!" "Come along!" "We saw three toll collectors guarding the breach." "Did you recognize them?" "Yes, there was Eusebio, Perez and Bartolomé." "Eusebio!" "Perez!" "And Bartolomé." "Have no fear Danca**ý**re we'll see to those three toll collectors." "Whore!" "Enough of you and your jealousy!" "Stay on guard, and if you see someone, take your temper out on him." "Come on, let's go." "Stay hidden." " They'll soon be back." " But I want him to see me." "I came here to find one of them." "I shan't be frightened." "I'll be off, then." "I'll go and wait for you where you found me." "You really mean to stay?" "You're sure?" "Yes." "In that case, may all the saints in heaven come to your aid." "I say that nothing scares me." "I say, alas that I can take care of myself." "But it's no use saying I'm bold." "In my breast I'm trembling with fright!" "Alone in this wild place alone, I am scared." "But I should not be so." "You will give me courage." "You will protect me Lord." "Now I'll have a closer look at her." "She, who by cursed trickery has led into a life of crime the man I loved once upon a time." "She's dangerous and full of grace." "But I shall not be scared." "No, no, I'll not be scared!" "I'll confront her and say my piece." "You will protect me, Lord!" "Lord you will protect me." "I say that nothing scares me." "I say, alas that I can take care of myself." "But it's no use saying I'm bold." "In my breast I'm trembling with fright." "Alone in this wild place alone, I am scared." "But I should not be so." "You will give me courage." "You will protect me Lord!" "Protect me!" "Oh, Lord!" "Give me courage." "Protect me!" "Oh, Lord!" "Protect me Lord." "A bit lower and you'd have blown my brains out!" "Who are you?" "Whoa, there take it easy." "I am Escamillo, the torero from Granada." " Escamillo?" " That's me!" "I've heard of you." "Make yourself at home." "Really, comrade you should stay." "You're probably right." "But I'm in love, my dear fellow madly in love!" "And I'd be a feeble sort, by Jove if I'd not risk my life to see my lady love!" " The woman you love is here?" " Precisely." "She's a gypsy, my friend." "What's her name?" "Carmen!" "Carmen." "Yes, my dear man." "She had for a lover..." "She had for a lover some time ago, a soldier who deserted for her." " Carmen!" " They adored each other." "But it's over now, I believe." "Carmen's loves never last more than six months." "But you love her!" "I love her!" "But you love her!" "I love her." "Yes, my friend, I love her!" "I love her madly!" "Don't you know there's a price to pay for running off with our gypsy girls?" "Very well, I'll pay!" "Very well, I'll pay!" "And the bill will be settled with the thrusts of a knife!" " Thrusts of a knife?" " Do you understand me?" "It's all perfectly clear." "The deserter the fine soldier she loves or did love, at least, must be you." " The very same!" " Delighted, dear fellow!" "Delighted, dear fellow!" "It ties everything up very neatly." "I know that Navarre guard of yours." "Let me tell you as a friend, it's worthless." "As you wish!" "At least I've warned you." "Don't make a move!" "You're at my mercy!" "But, nevertheless my business my business is fighting bulls not taking the lives of men." "Strike, or else die!" "This is no game!" "So be it!" "But at least catch your breath!" "On guard!" "On guard!" "Stand on your guard, and beware now!" "Stand on your guard, and beware now!" "Too bad for he who's slow to parry any blow!" "Stand on your guard, and beware now!" "On guard!" "Quick!" "On guard!" "And now, beware!" "And now, beware!" "Oh, my!" "It does my heart such good that it should be you, Carmen who saved my life!" "As for you, fine soldier I'll best you yet." "And we'll play for the beauty." "Yes, we'll play for the beauty whenever you're willing to meet me again." "Enough!" "No more quarrelling!" "We have to go now." "And to you..." "And to you, my friend, goodnight!" "At least allow me before we say goodbye to invite you all to the bullfight in Seville." "For my part, I'm resolved to dazzle you." "May those who love me come!" "May those who love me come!" "My friend, calm down." "I'll say no more." "No, I'll say no more." "And now there's nothing left to do but to say goodbye." "Take care what you do, Carmen." "I'm weary of suffering!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "We must be on our way." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "We must be on our way!" "Halt!" "There's someone hiding there." "A woman!" "By Jove, here's a pleasant surprise!" " Micaëla!" " Don José!" "Stupid girl!" "What are you doing here?" "I've come to bring you home." "Far off, a cottage stands where, praying the day through a mother, your mother weeps for her boy." "She weeps and calls for you." "She weeps, her arms outstretched." "You'll take pity on her." "José, you'll come with me." "You'll come with me!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "It'll be better for you." "Our business is none of yours." "You're telling me to go with her!" "Yes, you'd better go." "You're telling me to go with her so that you can run after your new lover!" "No!" "So help me!" "If it costs me my life no, Carmen, I won't go!" "And the chain that binds us together shall bind us till death!" "If it costs me my life no, I shall not go!" "Listen to me, I beg you!" "Your mother's reaching for you!" "You can break this chain that binds the two of you." " Leave me be!" "I'm damned!" " Alas, José!" "José, take care!" "I've got you now damned girl!" "I've got you, and I'll make you submit to the fate that binds your life to mine!" "If it costs me my life no, no, no I shall not go!" "Take care, Don José!" "One more thing." "It will be the last." "Alas, José your mother's dying." "And your mother doesn't want to die without forgiving you!" "My mother!" "Dying!" "Yes, Don José!" "Let us go!" "Let us go!" "You can be happy now!" "I'm going, but we'll meet again!" "Toreador, on guard!" "Toreador!" "Toreador!" "And don't forget No, don't forget as you fight" "That two dark eyes are watching you" "And love's awaiting you, Toreador!" "Love, love's awaiting you!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Fans to fan yourself!" "Oranges to nibble!" "Programs with all you wish to know!" "Wine!" "Water!" "Cigarettes!" "Fans to fan yourself!" "Oranges to nibble!" "Programs with all you wish to know!" "Wine!" "Water!" "Cigarettes!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Here you are, then!" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Oranges, quickly!" "Here you are then." "Help yourselves, young ladies." "Thank you, fine officer, thank you!" "Here, sir, these are the finest!" "Fans to fan yourself!" "Oranges to nibble!" "Programs with all you wish to know, Wine!" "Water!" "Cigarettes!" "Ho, there!" "Fans!" "Opera glasses too, sir?" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Here you are, then!" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Tuppence apiece!" "Look, tuppence apiece!" "Here they come!" "Here they come!" "The band of bullfighters!" "Here they come!" "Here they come!" "Yes, here they come!" "The band of bullfighters!" "Here they come, here they come!" "The band of bullfighters!" "On their lances shines the sun!" "Throw your hats into the air!" "Here they come, into the square!" "And in the front, left-right, left-right!" "In the front, left-right, left-right!" "The city beadle looks a fright!" "Down with him!" "Down with him!" "Down with the beadle!" "Down with him!" "Down with him!" "Yes, down with the city beadle!" "Down with him!" "And as they come" "Let us salute The worthy foot attendants" "Bravo!" "Viva!" "All praise now to the brave!" "Here come the foot attendants!" "Here come the iavelin men!" "See how defiantly" "With grave and fearsome gaze They come!" "How brightly shines the braid" "With which they're all arrayed" "Here come the iavelin men" "Another band steps forth!" "Another band steps forth!" "Here come the lancers now How handsomely they ride!" "How, with their lance points soon" "They'll goad the bulls on every side!" "The Blade!" "The Blade!" "Escamillo!" "Escamillo!" "It's the Blade, the swordsman" "The one who makes an end of all" "And who, to bring each combat To its close" "Deals the death blows!" "Long live Escamillo!" "Long live Escamillo!" "Bravo!" "If you love me, Carmen..." "If you love me, Carmen you will soon be proud of me." "If you love me." "If you love me!" "Oh!" "I love you, Escamillo!" "I love you and may I die if I've ever loved another as I love you!" "I love you." "Yes, I love you." "Make way!" "Make way for the mayor!" "Carmen, if you want my advice don't stay here." "Why not, might I ask?" " He's here, Carmen." " Who do you mean?" "Him!" "Don José!" "He's in the crowd, lurking about." "Look!" "Yes, I see him." "Watch out!" "You won't catch me trembling before him." "I'll wait and have a few words with him." "Carmen, believe me!" "Take care!" "I'm not afraid of anything!" "Watch out!" "So, it's you!" "Yes, it's me!" "They told me you weren't far off that you were likely to come." "They even said I should fear for my life." "But I'm brave." "I would not run away." "I'm not making any threat." "I'm imploring you begging you!" "The past Carmen is already forgotten." "Yes, the two of us we can start a new life far from here in another land." "You wish for the impossible!" "Carmen's never lied." "Her heart will not be swayed." "Between you and her, all is finished." "Never have I lied!" "Between us all is finished." "Carmen, it's not too late." "No, it's not too late." "Oh, my Carmen, let me save you." "I adore you so." "Let me save you and with you save myself!" "No!" "I know full well the time has come!" "I know you'll kill me." "But whether I live or die..." "No!" "No!" "No!" "I'll not give in!" "Carmen, it's not too late!" "Why do you still go on about a heart that's yours no more?" "No, this heart is yours no more." "In vain, you say, " I adore you so!"" "You'll get nothing from me." "No, no, nothing!" "It's no use!" "Oh!" "Let me save you!" " I adore you so!" " You'll get nothing." " And with you, I'll save myself." " Nothing from me." "So, you don't love me anymore?" "So, you don't love me anymore?" "No." "I don't love you anymore." "But I, Carmen, I still love you!" "Carmen, alas, I still adore you so!" "What's the point of all this?" "So many empty words!" "Carmen, I love you!" "I adore you so!" "Well, then!" "If I must do so to please you I'll remain a bandit, anything you want." "Anything!" "Do you hear?" "Anything!" "Do you hear?" "Anything!" "But don't leave me, oh, my Carmen!" "Remember how it was before." "We loved each other then." "Don't leave me, Carmen!" "Don't leave me!" "Carmen will never give in!" "Free she was born and free she will die!" " Where are you going?" " Leave me alone!" "This man they are cheering is your new lover!" " Leave me alone." "Leave me alone!" " By my soul you'll not go past!" "Carmen, you will come with me!" "Leave me alone, Don José." "I shan't follow you." "You're going to him." "Tell me do you love him then?" "I love him!" "I love him, and in the very face of death I'll say again I love him!" "So, the salvation of my very soul I will have lost for you so that you can go off, you trollop and in his arms, cruelly laugh at me!" "No!" "Upon my word, you shall not go!" "Carmen, you will come with me!" "No!" "No!" "Never!" "I'm tired of threatening you." "Well, then strike me down or let me pass." "Victory!" "For the last time, devil will you come with me?" "No!" "No!" "Long ago, this ring you gave to me." "Take it!" "So be it then, damned wretch!" "Victory!" "My beloved Carmen!" "You can arrest me." "I killed her!" "Oh, Carmen!" "My beloved Carmen!"
