Default Pronunciation. Help!

How do you (yes you) pronounce "danse macabre" in US resp. UK (or any other) English?

Do you say "maa caab" or like the French "dahns ma-ka-bruh"?

The online pronouncing dictionaries give conflicting pronunciations, as do print dictionaries.

So all are apparently correct, but not for my purpose, i.e. a question of meter. And a closing line where all the punch is.

So I just want to know what your (yes you) instinctive pronunciation is. There is no right answer to my question, I want opinions and personal testimonials. Please.

And thanking you in advance.
