Rhyme
Giuseppe Verdi
You say that you don't love me, so I don't love you...
You say that you reject me, so I reject you.
You'll have your fish-hook set for other fishes
So I will pick new roses in other gardens.
Let us agree about it, now, together:
You behave as you like an' I'll do as you do.
I'll devote to myself, each one commands me,
Servant to everyone, but I won't serve for anyone.
A constant love affair is only madness
Inconstantly I live with pride and boldness
I won't be scared of you if I will meet you
I won't cry anymore if you shall leave me,
just like a nightingale out of his cage
All night and day long I'll rejoice and twitter.
