CARMEN
No, you don't love me!
JOSÉ
What are you saying?
CARMEN
No, you don't love me,
no! For if you did,
you'd follow me
over there.
JOSÉ
Carmen!
CARMEN
Yes! -
Away over there into the mountains,
away over there you'd follow me.
You'd take me up behind you on your horse
and like a daredevil you'd carry me off
across the country!
Away over there into the mountains!
JOSÉ
Carmen!
CARMEN
Away over there you'd follow me,
if you loved me!
There you'd not be dependent on anyone;
there'd be no officer you had to obey,
and no Retreat sounding
to tell a lover
that it is time to go!
The open sky, the wandering life,
the whole wide world your domain;
for law your own free will,
and above all, that intoxicating thing:
Freedom! Freedom!
JOSÉ
Oh God!
CARMEN
Away over there in the mountains, etc.
JOSÉ
Ah! Carmen, alas! Stop it! Have pity!
CARMEN
Yes, isn't it so,
you will follow me there,
you love me and you'll follow me!
Take me away over there!
JOSÉ
Ah! stop, stop!
No! I won't listen to you!
To abandon my colours - to desert...
that's shameful, that's dastardly!
I'll have none of it!
CARMEN
All right then go!
JOSÉ
Carmen, I implore you!
CARMEN
No, I don't love you any more!
JOSÉ
Listen!
CARMEN
Go! I hate you!
Goodbye! And goodbye for ever!
JOSÉ
All right, so be it...goodbye for ever!
CARMEN
Get out!
JOSÉ
Carmen! Goodbye, goodbye for ever!
CARMEN
Goodbye!
(Don José hurries towards the door; just as he
reaches it, somebody knocks.)
--------------------------------------------------
CARMEN
Well then, go and find her right away!
Our calling, you see, means nothing to you.
And you would do very well to leave as you can
JOSÉ
Go away, and leave you?
CARMEN
Undoubtedly.
JOSÉ
Leave you, Carmen?
Listen, if you say that word again!...
CARMEN
You would kill me, perhaps?
What a look - you don't answer...
What do I care? After all, Fate is master.
et point de retraite qui sonne
pour dire à l'amoureux
qu'il est temps de partir !
Le ciel ouvert, la vie errante,
pour pays l'univers ;
et pour loi sa volonté,
et surtout la chose enivrante :
la liberté ! la liberté !
JOSÉ
Mon Dieu !
CARMEN
Là-bas, là-bas dans la montagne, etc.
JOSÉ
Ah! Carmen, hélas ! tais-toi ! pitié !
CARMEN
Oui, n'est-ce pas,
là-bas, là-bas, tu me suivras,
tu m'aimes et tu me suivras !
Là-bas, là-bas, emporte-moi !
JOSÉ
Ah ! tais-toi, tais-toi !
Non ! Je ne veux plus t'écouter !
Quitter mon drapeau...déserter...
c'est la honte, c'est l'infamie !
Je n'en veux pas !
CARMEN
Eh bien, pars !
JOSÉ
Carmen, je t'en prie !
CARMEN
Non ! je ne t'aime plus !
JOSÉ
Écoute !
CARMEN
Va ! je te hais !
Adieu ! mais adieu pour jamais !
JOSÉ
Eh bien, soit - adieu, adieu pour jamais !
CARMEN
Va-t'en !
JOSÉ
Carmen ! adieu ! adieu pour jamais !
CARMEN
Adieu !
(Don José va en courant jusqu'à la porte ; au
moment où il y arrive, on frappe.)
No, you don't love me!
