CHOEUR
Vivat! Vivat le torero!
Vivat! Vivat Escamillo!
Jamais homme intrépide
N'a par un coup plus beau
D'une main plus rapide
Terrassé le taureau!
Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!

ZUNIGA
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça?

MERCÉDÈS
Une promenade aux flambeaux …

MORALÈS
Et qui promène-t-on?

FRASQUITA
Je le reconnais ... c'est Escamillo ... un torero qui s'est fait remarquer aux dernières courses de Grenade et qui promet d'égaler la gloire de Montes et de Pepe Illo …

ZUNIGA
Pardieu, il faut le faire venir... nous boirons en son honneur!

MORALÈS
C'est cela, je vais l'inviter.
Il va êi la fenêtre.
Monsieur le torero ... voulez-vous nous faire l'amitié de monter ici? Vous y trouverez des gens qui aiment fort tous ceux qui, comme vous, ont de l'adresse et du courage …
Quittant la fenêtre
Il vient …


PASTIA
suppliant
Messieurs les officiers, je vous avais dit …

ZUNIGA
Ayez la bonté de nous laisser tranquilles, maître Lillas Pastia, et faites-nous apporter de quoi boire ...

CHOEUR
Vivat! Vivat le torero!
Vivat! Vivat Escamillo!
Vivat! Vivat! vivat!

English Libretto or Translation:

CHOIR
Vivat! Vivat the bullfighter!
Vivat! Vivat Escamillo!
Never fearless man
Did not have a better shot
With a faster hand
Defeat the bull!
Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!

ZUNIGA
What is that?

MERCÉDÈS
A torchlight walk ...

MORALÈS
And who are we walking?

FRASQUITA
I recognize him ... it's Escamillo ... a bullfighter who made his mark at the last races of Granada and who promises to equal the glory of Montes and Pepe Illo ...

ZUNIGA
Pardieu, we must bring him here ... we will drink in his honor!

MORALÈS
That's it, I'll invite him.
He goes to the window.
Mr. Bullfighter ... do you want to make friends with us here? You will find people who love all those who, like you, have the address and the courage ...
Leaving the window
He comes …


PASTIA
supplicant
Gentlemen, I told you ...

ZUNIGA
Have the goodness to leave us alone, Master Lillas Pastia, and bring us something to drink ...

CHOIR
Vivat! Vivat the bullfighter!
Vivat! Vivat Escamillo!
Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!
