Bizet Carmen Gypsy Dance Les tringles des sistres tintaient

Julia Migenes Carmen
Placido Domingo Don Jose
Ruggero Raimondi Escamilio
Faith Esham Micaela

Director Francesco Rosi
Conductor Lorin Maazel
Filmed in Andalusia

Les triangles des sistres tintaient
avec un éclat métallique,
et sur cette étrange musique
les zingarellas se levaient.
Tambours de basque allaient leur train,
et les guitares forcenées
grinçaient sous des mains obstinées,
même chanson, même refrain!
Tra la la la la la la

Les anneaux de cuivre et d'argent
reluisaient sur les peaux bistrées;
d'orange ou de rouge zébrées
les étoffes flottaient au vent.
La danse au chant se mariait,
d'abord indécise et timide,
plus vive ensuite et plus rapide...
cela montait, montait, montait, montait!
Tra la la la la la la.

Les Bohémiens, à tour de bras,
de leurs instruments faisaient rage,
et cet éblouissant tapage
ensorcelait les zingaras!
Sous le rhythme de la chanson,
ardentes, folles, enfiévrées,
elles se laissaient, enivrées,
emporter par le tourbillon!
Tra la la la la la la.

The triangles they used to play
Would set the gypsy rhythms tingling,
Till roused by their metallic jingling
The gypsy girls began to sway.
Their tambourines took up the theme,
While mad guitars in rhythm beating
Were unrelentingly repeating
This very song, this same refrain!
Tra la la la la la la.

The copper and the silver rings
Would shine against the dusky faces;
The red and orange of their dresses
Would go swirling upon the wind;
And soon the dance was under way.
It started slowly with the singing,
Then gaining speed and wildly spinning,
It whirled away, away, away, away!
Tra la la la la la la.

The gypsy men with hands awhirl,
Beat out a rhythm mad, demonic,
Intoxicating with their music
Inflaming every gypsy girl!
And by the rhythm of the song,
Demented and with passion burning,
They were swept away, wildly spinning,
In a whirlwind borne along!
Tra la la la la la la.

The most beautiful opera! Great piece! Thank you for posting! This is one of my favorite parts!

@BiblicalReader The Benny Hill version of this part of the opera is actually unsurpassed IMHO.

tringles does not mean triangle, it is the pole that is supporting the curtain... you know the curtain that you put in front of a window, in english it is a rod

@b43xoit The song is French and "tringles" is the French spelling. Translation, triangles. Original, tringles.

Este es uno de los momentos que se pueden llamar la Apoteosis de la Opera. La música, el ambiente, la cantante, es todo un estallido de sensaciones, Bravo!

I was madly in love with this film when I was 13 years old (I was a weird kid). I wanted to be Carmen in this scene, dancing on the table... I thought it was the most thrilling thing I'd ever seen on film.
