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 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.
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.

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
"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'
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 truly love this perfomance. Makes me feel so many things about Lana songs, that I can’t explain. Reminds me her first songs, her innocence, vulnerability, sweetness, and so many Lolita references. I see so much of Lolita in Lana, it’s so poetic, beautiful. It’s pure art. Makes me see how much beauty the world have. Makes me sad, for thinking that Lana isn’t immortal, and one day the whole world Will feel her ausence, but i feel so glad and blessed for living in the same era of Lana. Life is good. ♥️
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf It's alarming honestly how charming she can be Fooling everyone, telling how she's having fun She says you don't want to be like me Don't wanna see all the things I've seen I'm dying, I'm dying She says you don't want to get this way Famous, and dumb, and no age My, I'm dying The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like lightning Carmen, Carmen, staying up 'til morning Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean It's alarming truly how disarming you can be Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen She says you don't want to be like me Looking for fun, get me high for free I'm dying, I'm dying She says you don't want to get this way Street walking at night, and a star by day It's tiring, tiring The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like lightning Baby's all dressed up, with nowhere to go That's the little story of the girl you know Relying on the kindness of strangers Time and cherry marks while doing party favors Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on Sing your song, song, now, the camera's on And you're alive again Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like lightning Like lightning, light, like lightning Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
I never understood Helen of Troy. There are many beautiful, almost otherworldly, women in the world, I see them, but I never understood Helen of Troy until now. Look at this woman; pure perfection. She's so beautiful it breaks my heart.
when she says "bating her cartoon eyes" her hands are mesmarizing
Tannies J
Time stamp?
@@Boss-cj6zn 2:01 about I think
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
her skin is perfect
she's perfect.
Her skin is velvet
mirna vazquez she wore blueeee velvet
@@p.a.438 😍😍😍
@@mirnavazquez2235 its Blue 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?
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
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
the way she said "audio tune lies" is just incredible
hey, you are very beautiful .-.
When does she say that?
Pepita Abeln 2:09
@@neha-ze5lq Thank you!
Isn't it buy her tonight?
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?

the irish are a good crowd to have, we're really interactive so it makes shows more fun
☘️🇮🇪💚
She has soooo much emotion in her voice.... people would recognize her talent like 30 years from now....
2:07 OMG HER VOICE CHANGED AND IT WAS AMAZING! ._______.

That movie honestly was so fucked up 😂
Linda Lana loves Sugar-daddy
I love the way that she sings "darling, DAAAaarling" :) 1:15

I love the way she sings from 0:00 to 4:16.

almost forgot to watch this today
She totally becomes the character
she is the character.
this is the most beautiful version of lana i have ever seen both in looks and voice and raw emotion
This is the best one like I can't even believe I never seen her Carmen performances
i can't even believe how beautiful she is?
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.
I wish I had gone to a concert in btd era, I regret not going!!!
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 honestly the best Carmen performance. This song means a lot to me.
In my opinion, this is the best Lana's live EVER.
one of her best live perfomances. she not only sang perfectly but she acted her heart out
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
❤️
This is probably one of Lana's best performances... just downright incredible.
BRUH WHEN SHE STARTED SINGING IN SPANISH SHE WAS ALL SNATCHED AND FIERCE LIKE BRUH WHERE HAS THIS LANA BEEN
Every time she speaks Spanish my hear just stops.
I thought it was French???
Fernsndo94 No hahaha i'm spanish trust me xD
+Fernsndo94 the original version is in French :)
habla español con un acento gringo que se escucha hermoso
"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'
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!
Honestly never felt her soul so much in a performance.
this performance is out of this world
everyime i go back to watch this performance i cry with her. The emotions in this are so high.
Makes me cry so much
i can keep feeling her sadness
yeap
her eyes are so enchanting
She's so confident in this performance I love it
the BEST live performance idc
joan michelle agree... this made me cry
I like this performance more than the official audio.
She’s breathtakingly beautiful
*She really is shining like a diamond* 💎🌹💖
Her hair is so perfect
i love this woman so much, i dont appreciate her discography enough
It's tiring...very tiring - aww this broke my heart
i forgot lana used to sing so strong and emotionally
the best performance ever
wow the way she says lightning at 1:06...chills. Thats some visible, visceral passion behind that lyric.
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
Everyday in school I have this song in my headphones while everyone ignores me.
This goes to show how much of a strong voice Lana has. I wish she would show it more
How can someone be so enchanting and intriguing. Ugh, Lana is amazing
This live gives me butterflies
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
I love her so badly, she's like a piece of art, apart from the song and his mesmerising voice, she's so delicate and heavenly.
The way she said "lightning" at 3:35 really melted my heart :(
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.
The look in her eyes at 2:06. This is the best Carmen live
Most beautiful human being to ever walk on earth
she’s magical
I truly love this perfomance. Makes me feel so many things about Lana songs, that I can’t explain. Reminds me her first songs, her innocence, vulnerability, sweetness, and so many Lolita references.

The most phenomenal performance I’ve ever heard😍
I'm dying... I'm dy...ing... I love this performance sm!
Such an amazing performance
8 years and yet I still come back to this video. Magical ❤️.
she has such an eerie and vulnerable disposition in this performance. she's amazing, i have tears
One of the Most Beautiful things ever
Such a beautiful performance. She put her whole heart and soul into this one. I teared up
2:03 - 2:13 gives me such chills
This is absolute the best performance of Carmen
1:41, she did a little nod at "I'm dying"
OH MY GOD.
she's voice is like a angel
One of the best performances of her career
I HAVE A LOT OF WORDS AND NOW THERE IS NOTHING IN MY MIND..
Great to watch her live videos the crowd singing is uplifting
Your the only celebrity i put my attention for about 2 years memorizing all your songs. When i was going through my emotional stage.
I wish I could go to a Lana Del Rey concert once in my life...
We all agree this is one of her best songs ever right?
I LOVE YOU SO MUCJ LANA THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Abp
i kept getting goosebumps all along because of how beautiful this sounds
Best live ever
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
It's alarming honestly how charming she can be
Fooling everyone, telling how she's having fun
She says you don't want to be like me
Don't wanna see all the things I've seen
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says you don't want to get this way
Famous, and dumb, and no age
My, I'm dying
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light, like lightning
Carmen, Carmen, staying up 'til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It's alarming truly how disarming you can be
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen
She says you don't want to be like me
Looking for fun, get me high for free
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says you don't want to get this way
Street walking at night, and a star by day
It's tiring, tiring
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light, like lightning
Baby's all dressed up, with nowhere to go
That's the little story of the girl you know
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Time and cherry marks while doing party favors
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now, the camera's on
And you're alive again
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Like lightning, light, like lightning
Like lightning, light, like lightning
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
Love u
You the best
"cries in my bed silently"
haha y'all i literally did this just to sing along😅
I really love this part of that show
I have like the longest goosebumps EVER, EARGASM 111
no one have an idea how much i love this woman and this song her voice is so recofortaating it gives me chills
Imagine, I was only 18 (still 18) when I discovered Lana's music! I've missed out for so many years 🙈
this gives me lot of goosebumps
i think in this performance everyday
my fav performance ever
I never understood Helen of Troy. There are many beautiful, almost otherworldly, women in the world, I see them, but I never understood Helen of Troy until now.
Look at this woman; pure perfection. She's so beautiful it breaks my heart.
