LEPORELLO O statua gentilissima Del gran Commendatore... Padron! Mi trema il core, Non posso terminar!
DON GIOVANNI Finiscila, o nel petto Ti metto questo acciar!
LEPORELLO Che impiccio, che capriccio!
DON GIOVANNI Che gusto! Che spassetto!
LEPORELLO Io sentomi gelar!
DON GIOVANNI Lo voglio far tremar!
LEPORELLO O statua gentillissima, Benchè di marmo siate... Ah padron mio! Mirate! Che seguita a guardar!
DON GIOVANNI Mori...
LEPORELLO No, no... attendete! alla statua Signor, il padron mio... Badate ben... non io... Vorria con voi cenar... Ah che scena è questa! la statua china la testa Oh ciel! Chinò la testa!
DON GIOVANNI Va là, che sei un buffone!
LEPORELLO Guardate ancor, padrone!
DON GIOVANNI E che degg'io guardar?
LEPORELLO e DON GIOVANNI Colla marmorea testa, Ei fa così, così!
DON GIOVANNI verso la statua Parlate, se potete. Verrete a cena?
LA STATUA Sì!
DON GIOVANNI Bizzarra è inver la scena, Verrà il buon vecchio a cena. A prepararla andiamo, Partiamo - via di qua!
LEPORELLO Mover mi posso appena... Mi manca, o Dei, la lena... Per carità... partiamo, Andiamo via di qua!
English Libretto or Translation:
LEPORELLO Oh, thou most noble monument, Our Commandant resembling, Oh, sir, see how I'm trembling, I cannot further go.
DON GIOVANNI Proceed at once, or I'll spear thee, I'll kill thee at a blow. His cowardice diverts me. How can one tremble so?
LEPORELLO He's madder now than ever. If I could only go. to the statue Oh, thou most noble monument, I speak with fear and wonder, Master, look! Oh, look yonder, See how his eyeballs glow, see how his eyeballs glow.
DON GIOVANNI Die then.
LEPORELLO No, no, oh, wait a moment! My master here invites thee, Not I, great sir, it frights me, To sup with him this night. the statue nods its head Ah, ah, ah, I'm not inventing, He nods, he nods consenting!
DON GIOVANNI Thou fool, what's there to scare thee?
LEPORELLO Oh, master, oh look yourself and spare me!
DON GIOVANNI What is this wondrous sight?
LEPORELLO See, with his head of marble, imitates the statue He nods, just so, just so.
DON GIOVANNI See, with his head of marble, He nods just so. to the statue Give answer, if thou hear'st me, Wilt come to supper?
THE STATUE Yea!
LEPORELLO Now we are ruin'd truly, He takes it all so coolly, Oh, let us go, oh master, my limbs I cannot steady, To run away is best, oh, come, to run away is best.
DON GIOVANNI Ah, strange adventure truly, He hath accepted duly, Come let us go, make ready, To meet this stony guest.
