英文卡門歌詞如下:
* Hear my song and take my tune
For the charms of music never tire
Give me musics sweet composure
And a glass of Rhenish wine
All the world will be in love tomorrow
And lovers each other losing
Till then let us embrace today
And enjoy what were paying
* Oh, Carmens young and charmings free
Oh, Carmens lips are luscious sweet
Oh, Carmens love is love for aye
And a pretty back is bountiful
* Take my heart and take my hand
Or take both my lips unfit for a word
Make me musics slave forever
Drink to love and health of Carmen**。
