English translation:
DON GIOVANNI
My lady!
DONNA ELVIRA
Who's there?
DON GIOVANNI
Good heavens! What's this?
LEPORELLO
Oh wonderful! Donna Elvira!
DONNA ELVIRA
Don Giovanni! You here, you monster, you criminal,
you pack of lies!
LEPORELLO
What becoming titles! It's lucky she knows him well.
DON GIOVANNI
Come, my dear Donna Elvira, calm yourself. Listen.
Let me speak.
DONNA ELVIRA
What can you say, after so black a deed? You
sneaked into my house, and by your artistry, your
promises and your sighs, you succeeded in
seducing me. I fell in love, oh cruel one, and you
declared me your bride. Then contrary to all the
laws of earth and Heaven, after three days you
fled Burgos, abandoned me, and left me a prey to
remorse and to weeping, perhaps as a punishment
for having loved you so much!
LEPORELLO
She sounds like a book!
DON GIOVANNI
Oh, as for that, I had my reasons, didn't I?
LEPORELLO
Oh yes, and what good reasons!
DONNA ELVIRA
And what were they, if not your perfidy, your
fickleness? But just Heaven wanted me to find
you, to carry out its, my vengeance.
DON GIOVANNI
Come now, be more reasonable!
This woman is a nuisance!
If you don't believe what I say, then believe this
gentleman here.
LEPORELLO
Anything but the truth.
DON GIOVANNI
Go on, tell her.
LEPORELLO
And what shall I tell her?
DON GIOVANNI
Yes, yes, tell her anything.
DONNA ELVIRA
All right, but hurry up.
LEPORELLO
Madam - really - in this world, when it happens
that a square is not a circle.
DONNA ELVIRA
Wretch! Thus you mock my grief? Ah, you -
Good Heavens! The villain has fled! Alas, where
could he be? Where?
LEPORELLO
Oh, let him go. He doesn't deserve to be worried
over.
DONNA ELVIRA
The wretch tricked me, betrayed me.
LEPORELLO
Calm yourself! You are not, were not and will not
be either the first or the last. Look: this fat little
book is entirely full of the names of his
sweethearts. Each town, each district, each
countryside testifies to his affairs with women.
My dear lady, this is a list
of the beauties my master has loved,
a list which I have compiled.
Observe, read along with me.
In Italy, six hundred and forty;
in Germany, two hundred and thirty-one;
a hundred in France; in Turkey ninety-one.
In Spain already one thousand and three.
Among these are peasant girls,
maidservants, city girls,
countesses, baronesses,
marchionesses, princesses,
women of every rank,
every shape, every age.
With blondes it is his habit
to praise their kindness;
in brunettes, their faithfulness;
in the very blonde, their sweetness.
In winter he likes fat ones,
in summer he likes thin ones.
He calls the tall ones majestic.
The little ones are always charming.
He seduces the old ones
for the pleasure of adding to the list.
His greatest favourite
is the young beginner.
It doesn't matter if she's rich,
ugly or beautiful;
if she is rich, ugly or beautiful.
If she wears a petticoat,
you know what he does.
