Carmen, opera, selections from?

Question

I am trying to remember a selection from Carmen, I can't remember exact title, but it is often heard, something like fortunata??

Answer 1

I know that one of the songs that I hear from it alot is called "The Habanera." It is used in a lot of commericals and movies these days. Some of the words include

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
s'il lui convient de refuser.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Are you thinking of "O Fortuna"? That's from Carmina Burana by Orff. That's the opening (and closing) number from the work, and is used in a lot of ads and movies.
