Act I: In the town square of Seville

Everyone comes and goes through this square.
![Page 8: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What funny people…

At the guardhouse door we kill time by smoking, gossiping, and people-watching.

Look at that cute one — I think she wants to talk to us. She’s turning and hesitating…
![Page 14: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We must go to her aid!
![Page 15: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

- What are you looking for, lovely lady?- I’m looking for a soldier.
![Page 17: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- Here I am!- His name is Don José. Do you know him?
![Page 18: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
- We all know him.- Really? Is he with you?
![Page 19: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
- He’s not with our regiment.- So he’s not here?
![Page 20: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No, my charmer, but he will be here soon.
![Page 21: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
He’ll be here with the changing of the guard.
![Page 22: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

While you wait for him, pretty thing, would you care to come in with us?
![Page 24: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
With you? No, thank you, kind soldiers.
![Page 25: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Enter without fear, sweetheart. I promise we will treat you will all due respect.
![Page 26: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
I’m sure you would, but still, it’s wiser for me to return…
![Page 27: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
- I’ll return with the changing of the guard.- You must stay; the guard will be changing
soon.
![Page 28: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
- Stay!- No! Good-bye, soldiers!

The bell has sounded, and we’ve gathered for the return of the factory girls.
![Page 31: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We will follow you, dark cigarette girls, murmuring words of love.

But where is Carmen?
![Page 34: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

There she is! There’s Carmencita.
![Page 36: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Carmen, we’re all at your mercy.Be nice — at least answer us:
![Page 37: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Tell us when you’ll love us!
![Page 38: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
When will I love you? I don’t know.
![Page 39: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Maybe never, maybe tomorrow…
![Page 40: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
But certainly not today.
![Page 41: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Love is a wild bird that cannot be tamed.It’s useless to call him if he feels like
refusing.
![Page 43: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Threats and prayers do no good. One man may be well-spoken and the other silent,
![Page 44: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
and I may prefer the other, who said nothing but pleases me.

Love is a lawless gypsy child.

If you don’t love me, I love you.If I love you, beware!

The bird you caught suddenly flies away.Love comes only if you don’t wait for it.
![Page 50: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Carmen, we’re at your feet.Be nice — just answer us…

Tell me about my mother.
![Page 61: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Like a faithful messenger,I bear this letter from her.
![Page 62: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Also a little money to add to your wages. And then…
![Page 63: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
And then… I almost don’t dare… Then, one more thing, worth more than money.
![Page 64: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Something priceless to a good son.

I’ll tell you. I will give you what she gave me.

As we left the chapel, your mother embraced me and said:
![Page 69: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
“Go into town. It isn’t far, once you’re in Seville. Find my son, my Jose, my child.”
![Page 70: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
“Tell him that his mother dreams day and night of her absent son.”
![Page 71: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
“She grieves, hopes, forgives and waits.”
![Page 72: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

A kiss for her son, as I promised her…
![Page 76: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Who knows what demon was about to prey upon me?
![Page 78: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Even from a distance my mother defends me, sending me this kiss,
![Page 79: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
and her kiss saves her child from danger.

-What demon? What danger? I don’t understand.
- It’s nothing.

Faithful messenger, are you returning to the countryside?
![Page 82: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Yes, this very evening. I will see your mother tomorrow.

Help, soldiers! Didn’t you hear us?
![Page 89: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Carmen struck the first blow!
![Page 91: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Don’t listen to them, sir, listen to us!

Near the walls of Seville, at my friend Lillas Pastia’s,
![Page 95: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
I’ll go to dance the Seguidilla and drink manzanilla… at my friend Lillas Pastia’s.
![Page 96: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

But two is more fun than one, so I’ll take my lover along for company.
![Page 98: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
But the devil knows where he is!I threw him out yesterday.
![Page 99: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
My poor heart is as free as the air.

I have suitors by the dozen, but they’re not to my taste.
![Page 101: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
The week is ending… Who wants to love me? I will love him.
![Page 102: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
My soul is for the taking — you’ve come at a good time.

I’ve hardly got time to wait, because with my new lover…
![Page 104: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Near the walls of Seville, at my friend Lillas Pastia’s,

I’ll go to dance the Seguidilla and drink manzanilla… yes, at my friend Lillas Pastia’s.
![Page 106: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)

Be quiet! You’re forbidden to talk to me.
![Page 108: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
I’m not talking to you, just singing for myself.
![Page 109: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
And I’m thinking. Thinking isn’t forbidden.
![Page 110: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
I’m thinking of a certain officer…
![Page 111: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
who loves me, and whom I could very well love in turn.
![Page 112: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
He’s not a captain or even a lieutenant, just a corporal.
![Page 113: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
But that’s good enough for a gypsy girl, and I think he will do for me.
![Page 114: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Carmen, I’m like a drunkard. If I yield to you…
![Page 115: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Will you keep your promise? If I love you, Carmen, will you love me?
![Page 116: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
- Yes… we will dance the Seguidilla…- Carmen, do you promise?
![Page 117: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)

Act II: At Lillas Pastia’s tavern
![Page 121: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)

The chimes jingled with a metallic twang, and the gypsy girls arose to this exotic
music.
![Page 123: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Basque drums set the pace, while frenzied guitars, under obstinate hands,
![Page 124: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
ground out the same song, the same refrain.
![Page 125: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)

With all their might, the gypsy boysdrove their instruments to fury,
![Page 127: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
and this overwhelming din bewitched the gypsy girls.
![Page 128: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
To the rhythm of the song, burning, mad, feverish…
![Page 129: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
they gave themselves up in intoxication, carried away by the whirlwind.
![Page 130: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)

I toast you in return, gentlemen, for soldiers and toreadors have much in common:

It’s a holiday, and the arena is full from top to bottom.
![Page 136: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
Crazy with excitement, the spectators are roaring,
![Page 137: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
taunting, shouting, screaming themselves into a frenzy!
![Page 138: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
This is a celebration of courage, of strong-hearted men. En garde! Let’s go…
![Page 139: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)

Suddenly, there’s silence. What’s happening?
![Page 143: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
No more shouting — it is time. The bull leaps out!
![Page 144: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
He rushes in and charges. A horse goes down, dragging a picador.
![Page 145: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
“Bravo, bull!” yells the crowd. The bull comes and goes and strikes again.

Shaking his ribbons, he charges furiously, and the arena is filled with blood.

![Page 164: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
Excuse me… Go, if you wish,but I’m not going with you.
![Page 165: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
Carmen, my love, do come! You don’t have the heart to abandon us.
![Page 166: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/166.jpg)
At least tell us the reason, Carmen.
![Page 167: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
Of course I’ll tell you…
![Page 168: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
The reason is that at this moment…
![Page 169: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)
I’m in love.
![Page 170: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/170.jpg)
- What did she say?- She said she’s in love!
![Page 171: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/171.jpg)
- Carmen, be serious!- Head over heels in love.
![Page 172: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)
This is certainly surprising. But it wouldn’t be the first time, sweetheart,
![Page 173: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/173.jpg)
that you’ve been able to mix business with love.
![Page 174: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
My friends, I’d like to go with you tonight.
![Page 175: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
But forgive me — this time, love must come before business.
![Page 176: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
That can’t be your final word. Let us persuade
you. You must come; we need you for this deal!
![Page 177: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
As for that, I do agree:
![Page 178: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
When trickery and thievery are involved,it’s always good to have women along.
![Page 179: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Without the pretty ones, nothing ever goes well.

“Halt! Who goes there? The soldier of Alcala!
Where are you going, soldier of Alcala?
![Page 182: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/182.jpg)

“If that’s so, friend, you may pass. Honor and
love are everything to us, soldier of Alcala!”
![Page 184: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)

I will dance for you. You’ll see, fine sir, how well I accompany myself.
![Page 186: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
Sit down, Don Jose. I shall begin:
![Page 187: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/187.jpg)

- Wait a moment, Carmen, stop.- Why, if you please?
![Page 189: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/189.jpg)
I think I hear… Yes, our bugles are calling retreat. Can’t you hear them?
![Page 190: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/190.jpg)
Bravo! It’s sad to dance without an orchestra,
and here comes some music out of the blue.
![Page 191: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/191.jpg)

You don’t understand. It’s the retreat, and I have to return to the barracks for roll-call.
![Page 193: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/193.jpg)

To the barracks? For roll-call?
![Page 195: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/195.jpg)
Ah, I’ve been so stupid!
![Page 196: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/196.jpg)
I’ve been going to such lengths to amuse the gentleman.
![Page 197: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/197.jpg)
I sang and danced… God help me, I might have loved him in a little while.
![Page 198: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/198.jpg)
Ta ra ta ta! “My God, it’s the retreat! I’m going to be late!”
![Page 199: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
He loses his head and runs off!So much for his love.
![Page 200: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/200.jpg)
You don’t believe in my love?
![Page 201: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/201.jpg)
- Listen to me.- I don’t want to hear it. Go — they’ll be
waiting!
![Page 202: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/202.jpg)
I insist, Carmen: you will hear me!
![Page 203: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/203.jpg)

The flower you threw at me stayed with me in prison.
![Page 205: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/205.jpg)
Withered and dried, it still kept its sweet scent.
![Page 206: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/206.jpg)
For hours at a time, I would close my eyes and be intoxicated by this scent.
![Page 207: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/207.jpg)
And at night, I would see you.
![Page 208: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/208.jpg)
I began to curse you and hate you, to say to myself:
![Page 209: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/209.jpg)
Why did destiny have to place her in my path?
![Page 210: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/210.jpg)
Then I would accuse myself of blasphemy,and all I would feel is one desire, one hope:
![Page 211: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)
To see you again, Carmen.
![Page 212: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/212.jpg)
For you had but to appear and cast one glance at me
![Page 213: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
to possess me completely, my Carmen,
![Page 214: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
and I belonged to you.
![Page 215: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/215.jpg)
Carmen, I love you.
![Page 216: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)

You do not love me.
![Page 218: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/218.jpg)
For if you loved me, you’d go away with me…
![Page 219: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/219.jpg)
- There, into the mountains, if you loved me…
- Carmen, hush!
![Page 220: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/220.jpg)
You’d take me away on horseback to ride off
into the countryside together, if you loved me.
![Page 221: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/221.jpg)
Carmen, have pity, alas!
![Page 222: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/222.jpg)
You will follow me there. You love me, so take me away…
![Page 223: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/223.jpg)

No, I don’t want to listen to you any more!Desertion? Shame and dishonor — I will
not.
![Page 225: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/225.jpg)
- Go, then! I don’t love you any more. I hate you.
- Carmen, I beg you…
![Page 226: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/226.jpg)
- Farewell, and forever!- So be it. Farewell forever.

- Who’s there?- Be quiet.
![Page 229: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/229.jpg)

For shame, my pretty. Not a good choice.Why take the soldier when you’ve got the
officer?
![Page 232: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/232.jpg)

- Are you with us now?- There’s no choice.

Not very gallant, but who cares?You’ll take to it when you see it,

beautiful gypsy life, with the universe as your country and your will as law,

Follow us through the countryside into the mountains. You’ll get used to it.

I see a young man, wildly in love with me.
![Page 254: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/254.jpg)
Mine is rich and old, but he’s talking of marriage.

- We ride off into the mountains together.- Mine makes me mistress of a fine castle.

- Endless lovemaking, new pleasures everyday.
- As much gold as I can handle, diamonds, gems…

Diamonds. Spades.

Death! I read it correctly. First me, then him. For both of us — death.
![Page 269: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/269.jpg)

In vain you shuffle to try to escape unhappy answers.
![Page 271: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/271.jpg)
It doesn’t work; the cards are honest and will not lie.

If your page in the celestial book is happy, shuffle and cut without fear.

But if you must die, if the dreadful word has been written by fate,
![Page 275: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/275.jpg)
try it twenty times — the pitiless cards will repeat, “Death.”

All alone in this wilderness, I am afraid. But it is wrong of me to be afraid.

loved.

I know your name. Welcome — but really, my friend, you could have died.

I know. But I’m madly in love, and a man who doesn’t risk his life for his love is
unworthy.

She had a lover, a soldier who deserted for her.
![Page 308: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/308.jpg)
They were in love, but I think it’s over.Carmen’s affairs don’t last six months.

You make yourself clear. That deserter —the one she loves, or used to love — that’s
you.

you like.

Before I take my leave, at least let me invite you to my match in Seville.

Calm down, my friend. I’m done speaking and have only to bid you all adieu.

- Be careful, Carmen — I’m tired of suffering.
- Let’s be off; we must go!

Stop! Someone is trying to hide over here.
![Page 328: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/328.jpg)

![Page 329: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/329.jpg)
Micaela! Foolish girl, what are you doing here?
![Page 330: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/330.jpg)
I came to look for you.
![Page 331: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/331.jpg)
Over yonder is a cottage where a mother prays ceaselessly — your mother, alas.

She weeps for her child. She callsfor you with outstretched arms.
![Page 333: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/333.jpg)
Take pity on her, Jose! Follow me…
![Page 334: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/334.jpg)
- Go on. Our trade is no good for you.- You’re telling me to follow her?
![Page 335: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/335.jpg)
So you can run after your new lover? No!

If it costs me my life, Carmen, I won’t leave.
The chain that binds us will bind us until death.
![Page 337: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/337.jpg)
One more word, and it will be my last.
![Page 338: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/338.jpg)
Alas, Jose, your mother is dying, and she doesn’t want to die without forgiving you.

Be glad — I’m leaving. But we shall meet again.

If you love me, Carmen, you will soon be very proud of me.

Ah, I love you, Escamillo. May I die if I have ever loved anyone as much.
![Page 356: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/356.jpg)

Carmen, some advice: don’t stay here.
![Page 358: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/358.jpg)

Don Jose is here, lurking in the crowd. Look!
![Page 360: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/360.jpg)

![Page 361: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/361.jpg)
I’m not the kind of woman to tremble before him. I’ll wait and talk to him.
![Page 362: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/362.jpg)
- Carmen, believe me, you should be careful.- I’m not afraid of anything.
![Page 363: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/363.jpg)

It’s you… They warned me that you weren’t far away, that you’d come here.
![Page 365: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/365.jpg)
They even told me to fear for my life,but I am brave and didn’t wish to flee.
![Page 366: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/366.jpg)
I’m not threatening you, I’m imploring you, begging you.

We can begin a new life together, in a different place.
![Page 369: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/369.jpg)
You ask the impossible. Carmen has never lied. Her soul is inflexible:

Everything is over between you and her.

I’ve never lied: everything is over between us.

My Carmen, let me save you, for I adore you.
![Page 374: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/374.jpg)

No! I know it is time, and that you will kill me. But whether I live or die..,
![Page 376: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/376.jpg)

- Carmen, there’s still time…- Why bother with a heart that’s no longer
yours?
![Page 378: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/378.jpg)
- Let me save us…- You plead in vain; you’ll get nothing from
me.

So, you don’t love me any more?
![Page 381: Please silence all cell phones, pagers, and watches](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110207/56649d405503460f94a1a426/html5/thumbnails/381.jpg)
