In the big studio
Of the film
On the set
Everyone is there
The two stars and the actors
The director and the producer
Decorators and assistants
And then the crowd of extras
They are going to film the first scene
Of Carmen's new film
And someone cries: "Silence! We're filming!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's Story!
As if destiny, quite simply
Was waiting only for this moment
He comes bursting in at that instant
Among the crowd of extras
Then suddenly, she percieves him
He lifts his head, and sees her
And in their eyes there is love
But a love of the end of days
And somebody cries: "Very good! Cut!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!
In the studio she sees only him
On the set he sees only her
And in the crowd of extras
Embroidered outfits, flashy outfits
As if sleepwalking, the days pass
Lit up by their love
Without the knowledge, transfigured
They are Carmen and Don José
And somebody cries: "Silence! We're filming!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!
But in the cinema studio
One day he perceives her
Laughing, roaring with laughter
With that man over there
That hurts him, he wants to leave
But destiny must be carried out
And in the crowd of extras
She fell, without even crying
Somebody said: "Very good! Cut!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!
