The song is about Lolita. "Carmen" is one of Humbert Humbert's favourite nicknames for Lo. "Telling them she's having fun" is actually "Telling hum she's having fun", because Hum ( Humbert ) is Lolita's stepfather and Lover. And the song Hum sings to Lolita goes " oh my Carmen, my little Carmen ... ". Born to die has a so many Lolita references. The songs "This is what makes us girls" , "Cola" and "Gods and monsters" all allude to the innocence possessed by a young girl. Lana also refers to Lolita in "Off the races". "Light of my life, fire of my loins" is used in the song's hook and the song opens with "my old man is a bad man". Lana also has a song titled "Lolita" which revolves around youth and male attraction.
lottiee actually this is about girls like Lindsay Lohan - who got famous in an early age and had to deal with this reality while growing up. Their lives were happening to get all messed up, but they were seen like shining stars by everyone. Only they knew the two faces of their lives. And in the end they fucked up everything. This is a song about the side-B of these young stars' lives
The way she sings "I'm dying, I'm dying" with the little nod of her head at 1:40 makes me think she's singing about herself too. Besides the obvious hints to Lolita, she also hints at her own past sometimes.
I love how comfortable she seems with this crowd. In some of her other live shows, the crowds are just garbage and are just so awkward. We might not like lively active adoring and lows crowds but I think that’s what boosts Lana’s confidence and control
This will forever be one her best performances EVER. From the first performance she officially put on as Lana Del Rey, and the last performance she did at a festival overseas. She truly doesn’t get the credit she deserves. And I wish that amateur “vocal coaches” with a YT channel would react to THIS fucking performance, or a clip of one of her nights at Coachella of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, or just her most recent concert. She has improved *sooooo much* as far as nerves, anxiety, and stage fright. Leaps and bounds apart from how she was in like 2012. She’s just one of the misfits talented and incredible artists we have today. Hands down.
Giselle Raphael Yes. when she sings "I'm dying" and agrees with her head. And then we know in an interview she was with an unknown sick while doing this show.
+Anahí Ojeda se me dificultaba tanto entenderla, pero ya pude :D "Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente una persona por otra persona, y para mi igual, es solamente a ti"
Te corrijo. Dice: "Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente* una persona por* otra persona, y para mi mundo, hay solamente ti*" pero sin tu comentario no hubiera podido entenderla, así que gracias 😇😀😁
"Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente una persona por (para) otra persona, y para mí amor, hay solamente ti (estás solamente tú)" 'Love of my life, you know sometimes in this world there's only one person for one another, and for me, my love, there's only you'
im kinda late lol, its about prostitude and drugs, “she gives them butterflies”= carmen is alcohol and drugs giving teens butterflies, also: “the boys the girls they all like carmen” shows the drug & alcohol addiction of teens ( when she was 17 she was veerry addicted and went to rehab )
She says:Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi Tu as besoin de moi Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi Et je mourrais sans toi Je tuerais pour toi Translation from French: My love, I know you love me too You need me You need me in your life You can not live without me And I'd die without you I would kill for you
Until this day I still love this performance of Carmen. It's one of her best live performances and defo the best of Carmen! The emotion in her voice, she gives it all! Her portraying with her hands. I love it!
i watch this performance everyday ,definitely my favourite performance ever .carmen has has so much meaning to me and will forever be apart of me ,it’s always been my fav song ever words can’t describe how perfect it is to me
When I listen to this version of the song I literally go to a whole new place no other artist has been able to do that for me. Her voice isn’t perfect and that’s why it’s so beautiful
She looks gorgeous in this video, but you can tell she was going through a rough time... I’m so happy that her life had gotten so much better over the many years.

I thought I was the only person thinking that
I've come to see if it's 'bats her cartoon eyes' or ' coconize'. XD
2:53..... you are welcome
I feel like this song has a lot of meaning to lana
yup^
+Lou Volte same
+Lou Volte She is Carmen. No doubt
I'm pretty sure Carmen is another name for herself it's probably her when she was younger
Is it bad that I relate to this song lol
2:08 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW HER VOICE
She's a fucking Opreh singer
I know. She just went opera on us for one sweet moment.
what you mean with "WOOOOOOW" Shes LANA DEL REY duh
IKRRR
Seriously !!!and see her eyes....they get so bright......she escaped for a moment

Her skin is velvet

In my opinion this is the best performance of Carmen 😍
Billy Lujan Same, I feel like she’s telling us her personal story.
agreed, i can't stop watching it
@@niamh3254 dude me too

Agreed
I think about videos from this concert every other day. Something was in the air that night
Honestly though - there's something scary and mesmerizing about it
So is her performance at olympia paris lana del rey 2013, each one is amazing
High?
At 1:42 when she said that she’s dying you can see her pain and the way she nodes her head.
Brings me to tears every time. So in love with her. Everything about this is fucking epic
2:03 HER EYES
Rodrigo Aleman Medina cartoon eyes
She wasn't breathing
she was shining, a moment in life. Imagen remaking this in a movie

Marcela Ss me too😂😂
David Jung me toooooo
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the way she sings from 0:00 to 4:16.
I LOVE THE WAY SHE SPEAKS SPANISH AHH THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF CARMEN
Lulaxs Figueroa what she said? couldn't understand a single word
'Love of my life, you know sometimes in this world there's only one
person for one another, and for me, my love, there's only you'
its french
Rawan the original version is in french, but in this performance she speaks spanish
Minute?
She has soooo much emotion in her voice.... people would recognize her talent like 30 years from now....
I love how comfortable she seems with this crowd. In some of her other live shows, the crowds are just garbage and are just so awkward. We might not like lively active adoring and lows crowds but I think that’s what boosts Lana’s confidence and control
the irish are a good crowd to have, we're really interactive so it makes shows more fun
☘️🇮🇪💚
Everybody is in love with her. Right??
Pickel right.
Pickel definitely

almost forgot to watch this today
Every time she speaks Spanish my hear just stops.
I thought it was French???

fav Carmen performance
i can't even believe how beautiful she is?
This is the best one like I can't even believe I never seen her Carmen performances
I think Carmen is about herself, does anyone else feel that way? Maybe some lines are exaggerated a bit, but who knows? Maybe not
nicole haining i think so
No, it’s about Dolores Haze lol
im kinda late lol, its about prostitude and drugs, “she gives them butterflies”= carmen is alcohol and drugs giving teens butterflies, also: “the boys the girls they all like carmen” shows the drug & alcohol addiction of teens ( when she was 17 she was veerry addicted and went to rehab )
Carmen is another name for lolita, that's one of the nicknames Humbert gave her.
yes it's about her, all of her songs are very much autobiographical, she just adds references from books etc.
She says:Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
Tu as besoin de moi
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi
Je tuerais pour toi
Translation from French:
My love, I know you love me too
You need me
You need me in your life
You can not live without me
And I'd die without you
I would kill for you
She said it in spanish....
Evan 7u7 in the original song it was French but she changed it to Spanish in this version
this is the most beautiful version of lana i have ever seen both in looks and voice and raw emotion
I wish I had gone to a concert in btd era, I regret not going!!!
i can keep feeling her sadness
yeap
This is honestly the best Carmen performance. This song means a lot to me.
In my opinion, this is the best Lana's live EVER.
lana really has the most beautiful, expressive eyes
2:58
amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, solo hay una persona para otra persona, y para mi, mi amor, solamente a ti
eu te amo
