Carmen (verse)

In Ancient Rome, the term "carmen" was generally used to signify a verse; but in its proper sense, it referred to a spell or prayer, form of expiation, execration, etc. Surviving examples include the Carmen Arvale and the Carmen Saliare.

Purposes

Spells and incantations were used for a variety of purposes. If a spell was intended to harm someone, the State could interfere to protect him. For instance, it was not unusual for a farmer whose crops had failed to accuse another farmer of having, by a carmen, lured the crops away. Tibullus, in a poem in which he complains that an old woman has bewitched Marathus, takes the opportunity to recount various feats of witches, such as transferring crops from one field to another. Similarly, Pliny the Elder records in Naturalis Historia (XVIII. 8) that a certain freedman, Furius, by using better implements and better methods than his neighbor, obtained richer crops from a smaller strip of land. A neighbor compelled Furius to go before the tribes and accused him of having bewitched his field. But when the tribes saw his sturdy slaves and his implements of witchcraft—hoes, rakes, and ploughs—they acquitted him.

Carmen (2003 film)

Carmen is a 2003 Spanish drama film directed by Vicente Aranda. The script was written by Aranda and Joaquim Jordà adapting the classic romance of the same name by Prosper Mérimée. Director Vicente Aranda based the plot on Mérimée's original 1847 novella about jealousy and passion, not its famous operatic adaptation by Bizet from 1875, changing some details about the love story between Carmen (Paz Vega) and José (Leonardo Sbaraglia). As in the novella, author Mérimée (Jay Benedict) is portrayed as a French writer who finds the "real" Carmen in early 19th century Spain.

Plot

While traveling through Andalusia, Spain in 1830, Prosper Mérimée, a French writer, meets José, a wanted criminal. José ends up condemned to death by garroting. The day before José is going to be executed, Mérimée, who has befriended the bandit, visits him in prison. From his jail cell, José begins to narrate his tragic story to the sympathetic writer.

    Carmen

    by: Gene Watson

    Arrivò con la sua auto dall'aspetto un poco andata
    si fermò fianco all'edicola che era stata appena chiusa
    nello sguardo traspariva come un velo di tristezza
    come chi, da qualche tempo, non ricorda gioie e risa.
    Ne parlammo con ardore quasi come senza freni,
    senza dogmi né tabù incrociammo i sentimenti
    e ne uscimmo vincitori come fossimo due geni
    evitando con maestria le risposte o i giuramenti.
    Quanto tempo era passato? Ne parlammo in poche ore,
    le comuni esperienze, pur diverse e sempre uguali.
    La tristezza che assalì l'inusuale e strano amore
    impregnò la nostra cena di profumi coloniali.
    “Ti ringrazio del pensiero” sottovoce mormoravi
    “non credevo di esser qui a parlarti dei miei guai”
    e con animo sconfitto ancora di lui mi riparlavi
    “non dovrei esser con te, non l'avrei pensato mai”.
    “ Non l'ha fatto per il sesso, forse solo si è perduto,
    oramai non lo riconosco forse ha un po' bevuto
    non mi chiama già da un mese non mi cerca più per niente
    cerco pace con il cuore ad anche spesso con la mente”.
    Ma non c'erano persone ad ascoltare le tue ragioni
    più nessuno che potesse consolare il tuo malore
    solo io che ti guardavo nascondevo le passioni
    quasi fossi un alchimista, trattenevo quel mio amore.
    Ritornammo presto indietro sulla strada dissestata
    mentre tu ascoltavi calma ero stanco di parlare
    non capivo come e quando o se ti avevano mai amata
    ma spiegarlo mi pesava e tu già dovevi andare.
    Mi dicesti senza affanno “giuro che ti chiamo ancora”
    nel tuo viso quella luce di chi vuol ricominciare,
    di chi chiede quello spazio che di certo non hai ora
    “avrai tempo, stai tranquilla te lo posso anche cantare”
    “ Non l'ha fatto per il sesso, forse solo si è perduto,
    oramai non lo riconosco forse ha un po' bevuto
    non mi chiama già da un mese non mi cerca più per niente
    cerco pace con il cuore ad anche spesso con la mente”.
    Nella vita, questo è certo, se vogliamo esser felici,
    c'è da correre dietro ai sogni c'è da vivere il presente
    se quell'attimo non lo cogli trattenuto dalle radici
