Prelude
Mais nous ne voyons pas la Carmencita! ... - L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera)
Parle-moi de ma mere
Pres des remparts de Seville (Seguidilla)
Les tringles des sistres tintaientI
Vivat, vivat le torero! ... Votre toast (Toreador song)
Nous avons en tete une affaire
La fleur que tu m'avais jetee (Flower song)
Non! tu ne m'aimes pas!
Melons! Coupons!
Je dis que rien ne m'epouvante
Les voici, les voici
C'est toi! - C'est moi!
