Answers: How to pronounce
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'ame
and
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Si tu ne m'aime pas je t'aime
See tuuew neh mèèhmuh pah zje tèèhme
I can't find the way "tuuu " is pronounced in english, it's not like study or nude, it's much more sharp and clear. "yew" "uuew"
m'aime= mèeehme like e in "elder". "`eh"
"zje t'èèehme, ( the same)
which means: If you don't love me, I do love you.
L áh moor (like in "tool") at un (like in "run") wahzoo (like in "no") raybelle.
which means: The love is a rebellious bird.
Hope this helps.
I'm using standard English here, not IPA.
see tu ( make a very tiny oo mouth and say ee through it)
mem uh pa, juh tem uh ( the uh is not so deep an guttural as when you actually don't know the answer to a question, it's more like the eh sound you make when searching for the proper word in a sentence, a little higher and much brighter)
see tu mem uh pa, juh tem uh
la mooor aytun wahzoh rebelluh
my God, that looks absolutely horrible. Best you learn some French, ok? Then I don't have to murder it
C'est plus belle, ca.
Bonne chance avec Carmen

She's not the best soprano, but I can't think of anyone else who would pronounce it any clearer than that.
