@-DRIP While that story might be funny, it's still fantasy. The actual explanation is a bit more boring. See, in medieval Spanish, what people now pronounce as /θ/ used to be pronounced /dz/ (couldn't find the exact IPA symbol). For example, in the word "plaza" the z would've been pronounced like the one in pizza. That being said, I just want to say that a lisp is a speech impediment. And Spanish people do make the difference between /θ/ and /s/.

It's honestly not too far off. The soldiers are all into her and she responds that her love is a bird that flies around, changes partners, can't be contained, she's a powerful and dangerous lover. The opera isn't as explicit in it but the video is honestly accurate.

Hey! Here's the actual translation if you're interested:) (I made it might not be absolutely perfect) L'amour est un oiseau rebelle Love is rebel bird Que nul ne peut apprivoiser That no one can tame Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle And it's in vain we call for it S'il lui convient de refuser If he desires to refuse Rien n'y fait menace ou prière No matter if we threaten it or pray L'un parle bien l'autre se tait One speaks well the other's quiet Et c'est l'autre que je préfère But the other's my favorite Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît He said nothing but I like him L'amour est enfant de bohême Love is child of bohemia Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi It never ever knew laws Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime If you don't love me, I love you Si je t'aime prends garde à toi If I love you beware!
