One more 'vamp': in Italian a 'vampa' is a big
flame. Like in:
Stride la vampa! La folla indomita
corre a quel foco lieta in sembianza.
Urli di gioia intorno echeggiano.
A big flame rises up! The wild and excited
crowd assembles around the fire, cries of
joy echo around.
Azucena, decribing her mother's execution
at the stake, from Verdi's Il Trovatore.
