Carmen's story

In the big studio
Of the movie
On the set
Everyone's here
The two stars and the actors
Director and producer
Set designers, and assistants
And then the crowd of extras
We're about to shoot the first scene
Of the new film based on Carmen
And someone shouts: "Quiet! We're rolling!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!

As if fate, just like that
Was waiting for this moment
It comes knocking at this instant
Among the crowd of extras.
Then suddenly, she spots him,
He looks up, and he sees her,
And in their eyes, there's love,
But a love that's doomed to end...
And someone shouts: "Great! Cut!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!

She sees only him in the studio,
He sees only her on the set,
And in the crowd of extras
Dressed up, flashy clothes,
Like sleepwalkers, day by day,
Illuminated by their love,
Unknowingly, transformed,
They are Carmen and Don José,
And someone shouts: "Quiet! We're rolling!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!

But in the movie studio
One day he spots her
Laughing, bursting with joy
With that guy over there...
It hurts him, he wants to leave...
But fate must unfold
And in the crowd of extras
She falls, without even a scream...
Someone said: "Great! Cut!"
Carmen's story! Carmen's story!
