Text over an image - html

Question

How do I put some texts inside this carousel? I have to put some texts like some info about something, a big title and also the menu on top of it. How do I do that? I looked for some answers here but none of them worked for me, I tried to change some display to relative and absolute but didn't work.
It's like, how do I write an h1 and move it freely over the image of the carousel?

Carousel
A slideshow component for cycling through elements—images or slides of text—like a carousel.
now you can use v4.0.0-beta please refer this link
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/carousel/#slides-only
Try like this,im used for the bootstrap 3(just an example )
.full-width {
width: 100%;
}
.carousel-caption {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-box-align: center;
-moz-box-align: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100%;
}
