Libretto/Lyrics/Text:
DONNA ANNAGente! Servi! Al traditore!
DON GIOVANNI
Taci e trema al mio furore!
DONNA ANNA
Scellerato!
DON GIOVANNI
Sconsigliata!
LEPORELLO
Sta a veder che il malandrino
Mi farà precipitar!
DONNA ANNA
Come furia disperata
Ti saprò perseguitar!
DON GIOVANNI
Questa furia disperata
Mi vuol far precipitar!
IL COMMENDATORE
con spada e lume
Lasciala, indegno!
Donn'Anna, udendo la voce del padre, lascia Don Giovanni ed entra in casa.
Battiti meco!
DON GIOVANNI
Va, non mi degno
Di pugnar teco.
IL COMMENDATORE
Così pretendi da me fuggir?
LEPORELLO
Potessi almeno di qua partir!
DON GIOVANNI
Misero, attendi,
se vuoi morir!
Si battono. Il Commendatore è mortalmente ferito
IL COMMENDATORE
Ah, soccorso! son tradito!
L'assassino m'ha ferito,
E dal seno palpitante
Sento l'anima partir.
DON GIOVANNI
Ah, già cade il sciagurato,
Affannoso e agonizzante,
Già dal seno palpitante
Veggo l'anima partir.
LEPORELLO
Qual misfatto! qual eccesso!
Entro il sen dallo spavento
Palpitar il cor mi sento!
Io non so che far, che dir.
English Libretto or Translation:
DONNA ANNAHelp, oh heav'n! will none befriend me?
DON GIOVANNI
May the furies all attend thee!
DONNA ANNA
Help assistance!
DON GIOVANNI
Hush, or tremble!
Silence, speak not 'bove thy breath!
Thou shalt rue thy mad resistance!
DONNA ANNA
Heaven come to my assistance,
I'll pursue thee unto death.
Seeing the Commandant approach, she runs into the house
LEPORELLO
('Tis my master makes resistance,
I will list to what he saith)
COMMANDANT
Miscreant, unhand her,
Draw, and defend thee!
DON GIOVANNI
Fly, or I warn thee,
To death I'll send thee.
COMMANDANT
Caitiff, and coward,
Thus wouldst thou fly?
LEPORELLO
How can I safely from hither fly?
DON GIOVANNI
Beware my anger, fly!
Die he must!
They fight.
The Commandant falls mortally wounded.
COMMANDANT
Help, assistance, all is ended!
Oh, to die alone unfriended,
Vile assassin, thou'st undone me,
Heav'n protect and guard my child!
He dies
DON GIOVANNI
Rash old man, I have undone thee!
In the pangs of death thou'rt lying!
Mine's the deed, there's no denying.
Why to fight was I beguil'd?
LEPORELLO
Thou wilt rue this woeful error,
Deed of darkness, deed of terror.
Why to stay was I beguil'd.
He will rue this woeful error.
