The "official" feel of many music videos for this song comes from footage of the late Italian icon . Most of the viral clips use her performance as Esmeralda in the 1956 film The Hunchback of Notre Dame .
The lyrics describe a mysterious and captivating gypsy girl ("Zingarella") whose beauty and dancing enchant every man she meets.
“Zingarella ( little Gypsy girl ) Enrico Macias song and the amazing performance of the legendary Gina Lollobrigida! Enjoy :)”
While the song was written over 30 years after the movie, the imagery of Lollobrigida’s fiery, barefoot dancing in her iconic red dress is considered by many fans to be the perfect visual representation of Macias's "Zingarella". Community Perspectives
