The more famous performance of this song is probably Maria Callas, but then you don’t get to see video of them dancing around tensely to the instrumental. Tintaient is a form of past tense for light ringing/jingling (like when you ring a bell without letting the clapper hit the side of the bell). A sistre is a type of percussive instrument like a tambourine that has sort of small metal rods that will clink together. Since nobody knows what the heck a sistres is or what it would sound like when it taintaients, it’s often called the “Gypsy Song”. That’s Agnes Baltsa singing “Les tringles des sistres tintaient”. The first bit is dancing and instrumental, but the Tra la la’s come in around the 2:00 mark. Today’s song is from Bizet’s opera Carmen.

Every day in January promises another Tra la la song to sing when you drink a bit of our Trah Lah Lah wine.
