Karumen wa Jiyuuna Tori

Prosper Merime:
Dare ni mo shibarenai
Shibararenai onna sa Karumen
Kaze ni fukarete Kokoro mo karada mo
Oozora ni maiodoru

Don Jose:
Tatoe moshi mo ore no te kara
Itsuka tobisaru toki ga kite mo
Hiroi sora to jiyuu o aisu
Tsukareta tori ga kaeru no wa
Ore no mune Ore no ryoute
Ore no kokoro Ore no moto

Prosper Merime:
Kurikaeshite kurikaesareru
Kanashii ai no surechigai

Both:
Itsuka kitto ore no moto ni
Sou shinjite iru

Carmen is a Free Bird

Prosper Merime:
Nobody holds her
You can't hold a woman like Carmen
She's blown by the wind. Her body and soul both
Dance in the sky

Don Jose:
Even if a time comes
When she flies from my hand
To love the open sky and freedom
The weary bird will return
To my breast. To my arms.
To my heart. To me!

Prosper Merime:
And so the refrain is repeated over and over
An unhappy love at crossways

Both:
Surely, someday, to me.
This I know.
