See bow the night mist is lifting its veil and the great vault of heaven above is shining:

Who cheers the gypsy's days and raises up bis spirits?
You know the answer? A pretty women!
Fill up your glasses! Our anus are strong and hearts are brave again when wine is flowing.
Took bow the sunbeatns shine in tke glass where the wine that we drink is so brightly glowing.

Free from this quandary, contented are
* From Royalty flying, our gondolas ply
And merrily crying our ??opreme stali!

Glory to Egypt, motherland, Isis, our great defender!
O King, who reigns in splendor, anthems of praise we sing!

Stars circling round the sun who dutiful tribute bring.

Carmen
Habanera
Translation of French:
Love's a bird that will not obcy,
A bird too wild for you to tame;
Uf ber pleasure??Ts to stay away,
No use for you te call ber name!
Ef you threaten ber, she'll ot stay;
So try to charmn her from ber tree;
If you chase me, I'll fly away,
But if you charm me, then we'll sce!
Love knows no rules and bas no home,
A gypsy wandering as free as air;
And if my fancy starts to roam,
Then I'm warning you, young man, take care!
H ben you think love is in your band
She spreads ber wings and flies away;
No use trying to understand.
Just let the bird return some day.
If ske??Ts there out of veach, just wait:
She'll come and nestle in your lap;
Try to catch ker, you'll be too late,
??~But try to nan, and you're in her trap!
La jolie Parfumeuse Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880)
Neighbors Chorus
Please excuse me mister, we don't want to bother, we only want to know.
All of ws are neigkbors, so we're very curious, Why do you look so low?
Give us all the low-down, did you reach a show-down wwitk your last lady love?
Did she keep vou waiting? Did she break your date? Please elucidate, please rlaborate!
Did ske treat you badly, was she very bad? Did she make you mad? Ave you very sad?
Was she a very rich man??Ts dauphier who stowed that she was not all you thought her?
When with your songs of love you sought her, were you dowsed with water posered down from above?
Did you heat her, try to choke ber till you made ber pout?
Did ber father take a poker, did he throw yon out?
Did you beat ber and choke ber and knock ber all about?
