DON GIOVANNI(Bagattelle!) Bravissimo, Masetto!
Anch'io con voi m'unisco,
per fargliela a quel birbo di padrone.
Ma udite un po' qual è la mia intenzione.
DON GIOVANNI
accennando a destra
Metà di voi qua vadano,
accennando a sinistra
E gli altri vadan là!
E pian pianin lo cerchino,
Lontan non fia di qua!
Se un uom e una ragazza
Passeggian per la piazza,
Se sotto a una finestra
Fare all'amor sentite,
Ferite pur, ferite,
Il mio padron sarà.
In testa egli ha un cappello
Con candidi pennacchi,
Addosso un gran mantello,
E spada al fianco egli ha.
ai Contadini
Andate, fate presto!
a Masetto
Tu sol verrai con me.
Noi far dobbiamo il resto,
E già vedrai cos'è.
English Libretto or Translation:
DON GIOVANNIvery pleasant
You've a good head, Masetto!
I'll do my best to help you,
And play a trick upon my graceless master;
I have a plan will help to take him faster.
DON GIOVANNI
Go half to left, and half to right,
The road to pioneer,
And by the way look every where,
He can't be far from here,
If any you catch straying,
Some youth and maid delaying,
Or 'neath a window sighing,
An am'rous ditty plying,
Then strike him well and spare not
My master then is near.
Upon his hat a feather,
A cloak his form concealing.
He bears in ev'ry weather,
Ne'er knew he doubt or fear.
Haste away, as I've directed.
Exit villagers
Thou, friend, abide with me,
Somewhat I have relected,
The end you soon shall see.
