Could someone please help me with some sentences?


Context - The man keeps insulting the woman so she got really annoyed.
My translation:
感情に任せてギャンギャン騒ぐな
Don't let your emotions get carried away and lose your cool.
騒いでません!
I'm not losing my cool!
いいや騒いだね ケンカをふっかけるみたいにぼくに突っかかってきた
You are. You flared up at me like you were picking a fight.

I can't work out what ギャンギャン騒ぐ means.


もっと緊張感を持ってやってください
This is from a completely unrelated manga.
Context: A boy is telling this to his senpai in the orchestra club because they keep making a mistake in the same place when playing a piece of music. There is a contest coming up. The senpai think he is really conceited.
Translation: Please feel more anxious.

Thank you :-_-

It's Kyoto-ben.
It is synonymous with 'takusan' :)

Unfortunately I'm not too experienced with translating dialogues, so I can't help so much on the second question, lol ^^;
Maybe "Please have a sense of urgency" or something along the lines of that :) If i'd be critical it might not be 100% exact, but it definitely grabs the feel of the sentence.

ギャンギャン騒ぐな=口やかましく騒ぐな

ギャンギャン mans means very or much as you described, but I don't think it is a dialect. (By the way, Kyo-kotoba is more proper than Kyoto-ben. Some people in Kyoto do not like their language to be called "(-ben)dialect." )

Thanks for the reply, I could have been wrong then.
Having said that, I'm still not sure whether or not it was a dialect that caused a slight alteration in pronunciation to its word of origin "ガンガン." But I guess people do use it outside of Kyoto, so it doesn't matter :D

Also, with regards to the 'Kyoto speech,' I didn't know some people would prefer one to the other since I hardly ever heard 'kyoukotoba' outside Kyoto, nevertheless my Kyoto friends do usually use that term, though they were fine with the version I used.
Must have been a really subjective thing then as you've suggested, so thanks for the insight.

 I used the word "proper" for the same reason you mentioned. People outside of Kyoto often use the word Kyoto-ben. Kyokotoba is the authentic way of calling the speech style in Kyoto, and older generation would definitely appreciate it much more so than the young ones.

Could the translation be something like this?

感情に任せてギャンギャン騒ぐな
Don't get emotional and complain so nosily. (complain and make a big fuss)

Close. Being pedantic as I am, your first one is more accurate, although rather than "letting emotions get carried away," it's more like "letting emotions carrying you away."
It's kinda more like:
"Don't leave it to your emotions and make such a big fuss." (or "Don't get carried away by emotions")
I've done this a bit more literally so I'll leave the feel of the sentence to you :)
