love is a rebellious bird
that no one can tame
And it is in vain that we call him
If it suits him to refuse
Nothing helps, threat or prayer
One speaks well, the other is silent
And it's the other one that I prefer
He didn't say anything, but I like him
Love is a bohemian child
He never, ever knew any law
If you don't love me, I love you
And if I love you, take care of yourself
If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
But if I love you, if I love you, take care
Love is a bohemian child
He never knew any law
If you don't love me, I love you
And if I love you, take care of yourself
If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
But if I love you, if I love you, take care
The bird you thought you'd surprise
Flapped its wings and flew away
Love is far away, you can wait for it
You don't wait for him anymore, he's there
All around you, quickly, quickly
He comes, leaves, then comes back
You think you have him, he avoids you
You think you're avoiding him, he's got you
Love is a bohemian child
He never knew any law
If you don't love me, I love you
And if I love you, take care of yourself
If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
But if I love you, if I love you, take care
Love is a bohemian child
He never knew any law
If you don't love me, I love you
And if I love you, take care of yourself
If you don't love me, if you don't love me, I love you
But if I love you, if I love you, take care
