Don Giovanni (2001) Movie Script

I work hard day and night

and he never thanks me

I endure winds and rain,

poor food and little sleep

I want to be a gentleman

I no longer want to be a servant

No, no, no, I no longer want to be a servant

Oh what a gallant man

He's inside with his conquest

And I am the sentry

the sentry

I want to be a gentleman

I no longer want to be a servant

It seems that someone is coming

I don't want to be seen here

No, no, no, I don't want to be seen here

Don't hope, even if you kill me

I won't let you escape

Foolish woman! Vain cries!

You'll never know who I am

- Be silent, fear my wrath!

This libertine will be the ruin of me.

Servants, everyone! A traitor!

Be silent, or I'll get you!

Villain!

Imprudent woman

Villain!

Imprudent woman!

This libertine will cause my downfall.

Villain!

Imprudent woman!

Be silent, or I'll get you!

Let her go, wretch!

Defend yourself.

I do not deign to fight with you.

You think you can escape from me?

Fight!

Miserable wretch!

So be it...if you want to die.

Help!

I am betrayed!

The assassin...

has wounded me.

..And from his throbbing breast,

I see his soul depart.

I don't know what to say, what to do.

Leporello, where are you?

Here, unfortunately. And you?

- Here.

Who's dead, you or the old man?

What a stupid question!

The old man.

Two charming exploits!

Seducing the daughter, killing the father

He asked for it.

Like Donna Anna?

Quiet!

Are you asking for it too?

I ask for nothing and I say no more.

My father is in danger!

Let us rush to help him.

I will shed all my blood, if need be.

Where is the scoundrel?

In the vicinity.

What is this dreadful sight

before my eyes?

My father!

My dear father!

Sir!

The assassin murdered him.

That blood,

that wound,

that face...

Stained and covered

with the colours of death.

He breathes no more.

His limbs are cold...

Father...

Beloved father!

I'm fainting.

I'm dying.

Help, friends!

Go fetch me some smelling salts

some liqueur...

Don't delay!

Donna Anna!

My love...

My friend.

Her intense grief is killing her.

She is coming round...

Come to her aid.

Father...

Remove from her sight

that object of horror.

My love,

be consoled.

Take heart.

Go, cruel one!

Let me die too,

now that he is dead...oh God...

he who gave me life.

Listen to me, beloved, please listen.

Look at me for just an instant.

I am your beloved.

I live only for you.

It is you. Forgive me...

My grief, my distress...

... Where is my father?

Your father?

Banish, my dear, this bitter memory.

You have husband and father in me.

Where is my father?

Banish, my dear, this bitter memory.

You have husband and father in me.

Swear, if you can,

swear to avenge his blood.

I swear!

I swear on your eyes.

I swear on our love.

What an oath, oh gods!

What a cruel moment!

Countless emotions

are stirring in my heart.

Countless emotions

are stirring in my heart.

Swear to avenge his blood!

Swear!

I swear!

On your eyes.

On our love.

What an oath, oh gods!

What a cruel moment!

Countless emotions

are stirring in my heart.

Countless emotions

are stirring in my heart.

Come on, hurry up.

What do you want?

What I have to tell you is important.

I believe it.

Very important.

Fine. Get on with it.

Swear not to get angry.

I swear on my honor.

As long as you don't mention the Commander.

Are we alone?

- Just look.

No one can hear us?

- Go on.

May I speak freely?

- Yes.

In that case, my dear master,

the life you lead...

is thoroughly rotten.

How dare you!

- You swore.

I don't remember swearing!

Keep quiet or...

I'll say no more, not even a whisper.

Then we can stay friends.

Listen, do you know why I'm here?

I have no idea.

Might it be for a new conquest?

You must tell me

so I can add her to my list.

You're a good man.

I'm in love with a beautiful woman.

I'm sure she loves me.

I've seen her, spoken to her,

she is coming to the villa tonight.

Hush!

I think I smell the scent...of a woman.

What a great nose!

She must be beautiful!

And what an eye!

Let's go see what this is all about.

He's already on fire.

Who will tell me

where the barbarian is,

whom to my shame I loved,

and who betrayed me?

If I find the villain,

if he doesn't come back to me,

I will wreak havoc.

I will tear out his heart.

Listen! There is a beauty

wandering, forsaken by her lover.

I'll wreak havoc with him,

I'll tear out his heart!

Poor girl!

I'll tear out his heart!

Let's try to console her torment.

As you have consoled 1800 others.

Who will tell me

where the barbarian is,

whom to my shame I loved,

and who betrayed me?

If I find the villain,

if he doesn't come back to me,

I will wreak havoc.

I will tear out his heart.

Poor girl!

I will tear out his heart.

Let's try to console her torment.

As you have consoled 1800 others.

I will tear out his heart.

Dear young lady!

Who is there?

What do I see?

Donna Elvira!

Don Giovanni!

Monster! Criminal! Pack of lies!

What a perfect description!

She knows him well.

Donna Elvira, calm down.

Listen, let me speak.

What can you say after such behavior?

You entered my house furtively,

cunningly.

With promises and flattery,

you won my heart.

I fell in love.

You declared me your bride.

Then, disregarding the holy law

of earth and Heaven,

you left Burgos three days later.

You abandoned me and fled,

leaving me prey to my remorse

and to my weeping,

as a punishment perhaps

for loving you so much!

She sounds like a book.

As for that, I had my reasons, didn't I?

Yes, and what good reasons!

What? Other than your perfidy,

your frivolity?

But the just Heaven

decreed that I should find you

for its own revenge and for mine.

Be reasonable.

She's such a nuisance.

If you don't believe me,

believe this good man.

Except for the truth.

Tell her everything.

Quickly...

Madam,...to tell the truth,

the world being what it is,

the square being not round...

You louse!

How do you dare mock my grief!

The villain has fled!

Poor me!

Where did he go?

Let him go.

He is not worth worrying over.

The scoundrel deceived me,

betrayed me!

Be consoled.

You are, or you were, or you will be,

neither the first nor the last.

Look at this.

This book, which is all but slim,

is full of the name of his conquests.

Every villa, every village,

every country bears witness

to his exploits with women.

Little lady,

this is the list of the beauties

my master has loved,

a list I have made myself.

Observe. Read it with me.

In Italy, six hundred and forty.

In Germany, two hundred and thirty-one.

One hundred in France,

in Turkey, ninety-one.

But in Spain...

But in Spain,

already one thousand and three.

one thousand and three.

Peasant girls,

servant girls and town girls,

countesses, baronesses,

marchionesses, princesses,

women of every rank, shape or age.

In Italy,

One hundred in France,

in Turkey, ninety-one.

But in Spain...

But in Spain,

there are already one thousand and three.

Peasant girls,

maids and town girls,

countesses, baronesses,

marchionesses, princesses,

women of every rank, shape or age.

In fairhaired women he usually praises

their courtesy.

With the darkhaired,

their constancy.

With the white-haired,

their sweetness.

In winter, he wants plump ones.

In summer, he wants thin ones.

The tall ones, he calls them "majestic".

The little ones

are always "charming".

As for the old ones,

he conquers them

for the pleasure

of adding them to the list.

His greatest passion

is the young beginner.

He doesn't mind if she's rich

or ugly or beautiful.

if she's rich or ugly or beautiful.

Providing she wears a skirt

you know

what he does.

you know

what he does.

You girls who treat love lightly,

don't let your youth go by.

If your hearts are all aflutter,

here is the remedy, as you can see!

What pleasure in store!

Young men, light of head,

don't keep wandering aimlessly.

A fool's holiday lasts briefly,

but mine has yet to begin

What pleasure in store!

Come my love, let's dance,

let's sing, let's play!

Come my love,

what pleasure in store!

At last, she's gone.

Look! What handsome youth!

What lovely girls!

There should be something for me too.

Dear friends, good morning!

Go on with your music,

good people.

Is there a wedding?

Yes, sir, and I'm the bride.

I am happy to hear it.

And the groom?

At your service.

At my service!

Spoken like a true gentleman!

As long as he's the husband...

My Masetto has a good heart.

Me too, you will see!

I want us to be friends.

Your name?

Zerlina...

And yours?

Masetto.

My dear Masetto!

My dear Zerlina!

I offer you my protection...

Leporello?

What are you doing, naughty boy?

Offering my protection too.

Go with these people.

Take them to my villa,

have them given chocolate,

coffee, wine and hams.

Keep them amused.

Show them the garden, the gallery..

the rooms.

In fact, do everything

to keep Masetto happy.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Let's go!

Sir...

- What is it?

Zerlina cannot stay here without me.

His Excellency will take your place.

He will play your part well.

Zerlina is in the hands of a cavalier.

Go. She and I will join you.

Don't worry!

I'm in the hands of a cavalier.

Meaning?

There's no need to worry.

What about me?

Let's end this little spat.

If you don't leave at once,

without protesting,

be careful, you will regret it.

I understand,yes, sir

I bow my head and go away.

Because you insist,

I won't protest.

Cavalier you surely are.

Your kindness show me this.

Little cheat!

You'll always be the ruin of me.

I'm coming!

Stay, stay.

It is a very honest thing.

Perhaps our master will make of you

his mistress.

Little cheat!

You'll always be the ruin of me.

I'm coming!

Stay, stay!

It is a very honest thing.

Perhaps our master will make of you

his mistress.

At last, we're free, sweet Zerlina,

of that country bumpkin.

Didn't I do it well?

He's my husband!

That man?

Do you think an honest man,

a noble cavalier like me,

can bear to see your golden face,

so sweet a face,

snatched away by such an oaf?

I promised to marry him.

Such promise means nothing.

You were not made to be...a peasant,

you deserve a better fate

with those eyes,

those beautiful lips,

those white scented fingers.

It is like touching cream,

and sniffing roses...

I don't want...

What don't you want?

To be deceived in the end.

It is rare that cavaliers

are honest and sincere with women.

That is just mere peasant gossip.

True nobility has honesty

etched in its eyes.

Let's not waste time,

At this very instant, I want...

to marry you.

You?

Certainly.

This little villa is mine.

We will be alone.

And here...

we will marry.

There you will give me your hand.

There you will say yes.

You see, it isn't far.

Let us go, my beloved.

I'd like to, yet I wouldn't.

My heart trembles a little.

It is true, I would be happy,

but you may be fooling me.

Come, my beauty.

I feel pity for Masetto.

I will change your fate.

Soon I'll no longer be able to resist.

I'll no longer be able to resist.

Come!

There you will give me your hand.

I'd like to, yet I wouldn't.

There you will say yes.

My heart trembles a little.

Let us go, my beloved.

but you may be fooling me.

Let us go, my beloved.

I feel pity for Masetto.

I will change your fate.

Soon I'll no longer be able to resist.

Let us go, beloved one,

and refresh the pangs

of our innocent love.

Stop, scoundrel,

Heaven made me overhear your lies!

I am in time to save

this poor innocent creature

from your vicious trap.

Alas, what do I hear?

Love, inspire me!

Can't you see

that I want to amuse myself?

Amuse yourself...

I know how you amuse yourself.

Your Lordship,

is it true what she says?

The poor woman is in love with me.

Out of pity I must feign love.

Unfortunately,

I have a kind heart.

Flee the betrayer!

Let him say no more.

His lips lie,

his eyes deceive.

Let my suffering

be of help to you.

Be afraid and learn from my misfortune.

Flee the betrayer!

Let him say no more.

Today the devil is amusing himself

by balking my pursuit of pleasure.

Everything is going very badly.

Your weeping is in vain.

Let us talk of vengeance.

Ah, Don Giovanni!

This is all I need.

We find you at the right time.

Have you courage and a generous soul?

The devil must have spoken to her.

What a question! Why?

We need your friendship.

I can breathe again.

At your service, my kinsmen,

my arm, my sword,

my possession, my blood...

all this I give to serve you.

Beautiful Donna Anna,

why are you weeping so?

Who has so cruelly disturbed

your peace of mind?

I've found you again,

perfidious monster!

Do not put your faith, poor woman,

in that wily heart

The villain has already betrayed me,

he will betray you now.

What noble bearing!

What sweet majesty!

Her pallor,

her tears,

fill me with pity.

The poor girl is mad, my friends.

is mad, my friends.

Leave her with me,

perhaps she will calm down.

Don't believe this treacherous man!

She is mad, pay no heed!

Stay, for Heaven's sake, stay!

Who are we to believe?

She is mad!

Feelings of strange terror...

De-un chin nemaisimtit...

Scorn, ire, contempt and fear...

...are roused inside my breast.

Of this poor woman,

they tell me a hundred things I cannot yet understand.

They tell me about this traitor

a hundred things

I cannot yet understand.

I won't leave here

until I discover the truth.

She does not seem mad, neither in her countenance,

nor in her speech.

If I go,

they may suspect something.

From his expression,

they should be able to judge the blackness of his soul.

So she...?

Is a little mad.

So he...?

- Is a traitor.

Poor woman!

Liar!

I'm beginning to have doubts.

People are getting curious,

be more

prudent or they'll poke fun at you.

Don't even hope that, scoundrel,

I have lost all sense of modesty.

Your guilt and your sorry state

shall be known by everyone.

Poor woman!I want to follow her

and see she comes to no harm.

Forgive me, fair Donna Anna,

if I can be of service to you,

I await you at my home.

Friends, goodbye!

Don Ottavio, I'm dying!

What is it?

Help me!

Have courage!

Ye gods!

He is the murderer of my father!

What?

There is no doubt about it!

his parting words

and his voice remind me

of that contemptible man

who in my apartment...

Is it possible that under

the sacred mantel of friendship...?

Tell me what happened.

It was already late at night,

when into my room,

where, unfortunately, I was alone,

entered a man, wrapped in a cloak.

At first, I mistook him for you.

Then I realised I was mistaken.

Go on!

Silently he approached,

wanting to kiss me.

I tried to free myself

but he held me more tightly.

I cried out.

Noone came.

With one hand,

he tried to stifle my voice,

with the other hand,

he held me so tightly,

I thought I was already defeated.

The traitor. And then?

Finally, the horror of his vile deed

increased my strength, so that,

trying to free myself,

twisting

and turning

I freed myself from him.

I screamed all the louder,

I cried for help.

Boldly I followed him into the street

to stop him.

I, the assailed,

became thus the assailer.

My father ran out to see who it was

and the criminal,

who was stronger than the old man,

completed his misdeed

by killing him!

Now you know who tried

to steal my honor,

who was the traitor

that took my father from me.

I ask you for revenge!

Your heart demands it too.

Remember the wound

in my poor father's breast,

remember his blood

in a pool on the ground

if ever in your heart

your righteous wrath weakens.

Now you know who tried

to steal my honor,

who was the traitor

that took my father from me.

I ask you for revenge!

Your heart demands it too.

How can I believe

that so terrible a crime

can be committed by a cavalier?

To discover the truth,

I must do everything I can.

I feel in my breast,

as her lover and friend,

that my duty is clear enough!

I must make her see she is wrong

or seek revenge for her.

On her peace of mind, my own depends.

What pleases her gives me life.

Her grief brings me death.

If she sighs,

I too must sigh.

Her anger is mine,

her tears are mine.

At any cost, I must find a way

of leaving this madman for ever.

Look at his nonchalance!

My dear Leporello,

is everything going well?

My dear Don Giovanni,

everything is going badly!

What do you mean "badly"?

I went to your villa

with all those people...

With chatter and the usual lies,

which I've learned so well from you,

I kept them there.

Bravo!

I told Masetto many things

to dispel his jealousy.

Bravo, on my oath!

I made them all drink.

They're already half-drunk,

some sang,

others joked or kept on drinking.

At the height of it all,

guess who turned up?

Zerlina.

Bravo!

Who was she with?

Dona Elvira!

Bravo!

What did she say?

Awful things about me.

Bravo, on my oath!

And you?

- I kept quiet.

And she?

- Went on screaming.

And you?

When she seemed exhausted,

I led her delicately out,

locked the door and stole away,

leaving her alone on the road.

Bravo, bravo,

Well done!

Things couldn't be better!

What you started

I shall finish.

With these peasant girls

I want to have fun until nightfall.

While their heads are on fire with wine

So go and prepare a feast.

If you find some girl in the piazza

Bring her with you

Get the dance going without further ado

Make them dance a minuet

A frolic, or the Allemande! Whatever

And I'll be among them

Making love with this one or that one

Tomorrow morning my list

Must increase by a dozen.

Masetto, listen to what I have to say

Don't touch me

Why not?

You don't know why?

Betrayer!

I cannot bear your touch

Oh no. You're cruel.

I don't deserve such treatment

You have the nerve to make excuses?

Alone with a man,

you left me on our wedding day

For such a villain.

It's a disgrace

If I didn't fear a scandal, I'd...

But I did nothing wrong

He tried to deceive me

So what do you fear?

Be calm, my love,

he didn't touch the tip of my finger

Don't you believe me?

Come here and vent your anger,

do what you want to me

But then, my dear Masetto,

...but then let's make peace

Beat me, dear Masetto.

Beat your poor Zerlina

I'll be like a perfect lamb

and await your flogging

Beat your poor Zerlina

I'll be like a perfect lamb

I'll let you tear out my hair

I'll let you gouge out my eyes

Then I'll happily kiss your dear hands

Beat me, dear Masetto.

Beat your poor Zerlina

I'll be like a perfect lamb

and await your flogging

But I see

You haven't the heart!

Peace, peace, my love

In peace and contentment

let's spend night and day

Peace, peace, my love

In peace and contentment

let's spend night and day

Yes!Yes!

In peace and contentment

let's spend night and day

Yes!Yes!

Let's spend night and day

Look how this enchantress

has seduced me once again

We men must all have weak minds

Prepare a grand feast for everyone

Masetto, it's the voice of the cavalier

What of it?

He'll be coming here.

Let him come

If only there was a place to hide!

What are you afraid of?

Why do you turn pale?

Ah, I understand!

You little cheat

You're afraid that I'll find out

what took place between you two.

Quickly, before he comes,

I'll move aside

There's a nook.

I'll stay there and hide quietly

Listen, where are you going?

Don't hide.

Oh, Masetto!

If he finds you,

you don't know what he can do!

Let him do and say what he will.

Your words mean nothing.

Speak up and stay here!

What caprice has he in mind?

Speak up and stay here!

What caprice has he in mind?

I'll find out if she's unfaithful

Ungrateful, cruel man...

and just how things went.

I'll find out if she's unfaithful

Ungrateful, cruel man...

...and just how things went.

Ungrateful, cruel man,

... and just how things went.

Come rouse yourselves!

Take heart, good people!

To the dancing lead them all.

Have them given in abundance

treats and refreshments.

Come rouse yourselves!

Take heart, good people!

Let's be happy,

let's laugh and play!

Let's be happy,

let's laugh and play!

Hidden here

perhaps he will not see me.

Sweet Zerlina!

I've seen you, don't run away.

Let me go.

No, stay.

If you have pity in your heart...

I am all love.

Come a moment,

I want to make you happy.

Come a moment...

If he sees my husband...

... I want to make you happy!

I know what he is capable of.

I know what he is capable of...

I want to make you happy!

I know what he is capable of...

I want to make you happy!

Masetto?

Yes, Masetto.

Why were you hiding there?

Your beautiful Zerlina

cannot, poor thing,

stay any longer without you.

cannot, poor thing

stay any longer without you.

I understand, sir.

Now take heart, both of you.

take heart

Can you hear the musicians?

Come along with me.

Let's take heart

and go dancing.

Let us go, all three of us.

We must have courage,

dear friends,

and his wicked deeds,

we shall discover.

Our friend is right,

we must have courage.

Banish, my love,your anguish and your fear.

This step is perilous

and may lead to disaster.

I fear for my beloved,

I fear for us all.

Sir, look at those handsome masks!

Have them come.

Tell them they would do us honor.

By his bearing and his voice,

the traitor reveals himself...

Masqueraders!

Answer him!

Masqueraders!

What do you want?

To the ball, if you will,

you are invited by my master.

You do us honor!

Come, my dear companions.

Our friend, with these women,

will also try to make love.

May righteous Heaven

protect

the ardor of my heart!

May righteous Heaven avenge...

my betrayed love.

May righteous Heaven protect

the ardor of my heart!

May righteous Heaven avenge...

my betrayed love.

Rest, charming girls!

- Refresh yourselves

You'll soon go back

to your dancing and playing.

Coffee!

Chocolate!

- Zerlina, be careful!

Sorbets! Sweets!

Confetti!

Ah, Zerlina, be careful!

The scene has begun too sweetly,

in bitterness it may end.

Yes!

In bitterness it may end.

You are so pretty, darling Zerlina!

You are kind.

She's enjoying herself.

Dear Giannotta, Sandrina

I will chop off his head!

Masetto is loosing his temper,

there's trouble ahead.

Masetto is loosing his temper,...

She's enjoying herself!

I will chop off his head!

Masetto is loosing his temper,

I will chop off his head!

Come forward,

charming masqueraders!

Everyone is welcome!

Long live liberty!

We are grateful for this display

of unbounded generosity.

Everyone is welcome!

We are grateful for this display

...of unbounded generosity.

Long live liberty!

Liberty!

Long live liberty!

Liberty!

Long live liberty!

Liberty!

Get on with the music!

Pair off the dancers!

Good people, dance!

This is the peasant girl.

I'm dying!

Hide your feelings!

Everything is going well!

Take care of Masetto.

You're not dancing.

I am your partner, Zerlina,

Come, dear Masetto!

... Zerlina...

Zerlina, come with me.

No, I do not want to dance.

Dance, my friend!

No!

Yes!

Dear Masetto!

I can't stand this!

Pretend, for pity's sake!

Dance, my friend,

let us do as the others do.

Come with me, my love.

I am lost!

This is going to be a disaster.

The scoundrel is tying

a noose around his neck.

Help!

Let us help the innocent girl!

Ah, Zerlina!

Scoundrel!

Her screams

are coming from over there.

Scoundrel!

We'll break down the door!

Help me!

Help me or I'll die!

We are here to help you.

Here is the culprit who offended you.

I'll punish him.

Die, criminal!

- What are you doing?

Not so fast!

With this trick, the villain thinks

he can hide his evil-doing!

Dona Elvira!

Yes, villain!

Don Ottavio!

Yes, 'tis I, sir!

Believe me!

Traitor!

We know everything!

Tremble, villain!

My head is confused.

Tremble, villain!

I don't know what I'm doing

and a storm is menacing me...

My head is confused.

I don't know what I'm doing

and a storm is menacing me...

Hear the thunder of vengeance break all about you.

My courage doesn't fail me.

I'm not lost or worried,

though Heaven itself should fall,

I'll not show the slightest fear.

On your head this day,

a thunderbolt will fall!

Come on, clown, don't annoy me.

No, master, I will not stay.

Listen to me, friend.

I'm going, I said.

What have I done,

that you want to leave?

Nothing at all,

you almost killed me!

You're out of your mind,

it was only a joke.

I'm not joking, I want to go.

Leporello!

Yes, master.

Let's make up.

Here...

What?

Four gold pieces.

This time I'll give in

but don't make a habit of it.

Don't think you can seduce me

like your women,

not even with money.

Don't speak about it anymore.

Have you the nerve to do

what I ask you?

Provided we leave the women alone.

Leaving women alone!

You're mad!

Leaving women alone!

You know they're more necessary to me

than the bread I eat, than the air I breathe!

You have the impudence

to deceive them all!

It's all a matter of love.

A man who is faithful to one

is cruel to all others.

With my abundance of feelings,

I love them all.

And women, who cannot reason,

call my good nature "deceit".

I have never seen so good a nature

so abundantly doled out.

What do you want?

Have you seen Donna Elvira's maid?

No, I haven't

You've missed something lovely,

my dear Leporello.

I'm going to try out my luck with her,

I want to whet her appetite

by presenting myself

dressed in your clothes.

Why not in your own?

People of her class have little esteem

for the clothes of a nobleman.

Quick, off with it!

Sir, for several reasons...

Stop!

I can't bear being argued with!

Be still, unjust heart!

Do not beat so in my breast.

He is merciless, a betrayer.

It's shameful to feel pity.

It's Donna Elvira!

I hear her voice.

I'll seize the moment.

You stay here.

Elvira, my beloved.

Is it the ingrate?

Yes, my love, it is I.

I beg you to be merciful.

What a strange feeling

is stirring in my breast...

Come down, my lovely.

You will see that you are the one

my soul adores.

I have truly repented.

I don't believe you, cruel one!

Believe me!

Or I'll kill myself.

If you continue, I'll laugh.

Beloved, come here!

Gods, what a dilemma this is!

I don't know

whether I should go or stay.

Ye Gods, protect my trusting heart.

Gods, what a dilemma this is!

I don't know

whether I should go or stay.

Well, what do you think?

You have a heart of stone.

Come on, you're being an idiot

Listen to me: when she comes down

Run and embrace her,

be affectionate

Imitate my voice,

then find a pretext to lead her somewhere

But sir...

- It's settled

What if she recognises me?

- She won't, if you don't want her to

Quiet, she's coming. Don't fail me!

Here I am

- Let's see how she gets on

What a mess!

Dare I believe that my tears

have subdued that heart?

Have you repented?

Beloved Don Giovanni, are you returning

to your duty and to my love?

Yes, beloved

You cruel man!

If you only knew how many tears

And how much misery you cost me

I, my beloved?

- Yes, you

Poor darling, I'm so sorry for you

Never leave again?

Never, my inspiration

- Will you always be mine?

Always

My dearest.

My dearest!

I'm really enjoying this game

My treasure

My Venus.

I'm all aflame for you

And I'm all ashes

The rogue is warming up

You'll never deceive me again?

Certainly not

- Swear it

I swear it by this hand Which I cover with my kisses

And on your beautiful eyes

You wretch, you're dead

Oh heavens

It seems that luck is with me;

let's see

Here's the window

Time to serenade

Come to the window,

my treasure

Come and console my tears

If you refuse

to give me some solace

I wish to die before your eyes

Your mouth is sweeter than honey

You carry sweetness in your heart

Joy of my life,

don't be cruel to me

Let me at least see you, my love

There's somebody at the window

Maybe it's her

Let's keep looking;

something tells me

we must find him

Someone is speaking

Stop!

I think I hear someone moving

If I'm not mistaken

it's Masetto

Who is there?

No one answers;

be courageous now

Who is there?

He's not alone, I must be careful

Friends

Let's hope it works

Is that Masetto?

Precisely, and you?

Don't you recognise me?

I'm Don Giovanni's servant

Leporello!

the servant of that corrupt cavalier!

Yes, the servant of that rascal

Of that dishonourable man

But tell me,

where can we find him?

I am looking for him

so I can murder him

Puny threat!

Great, Masetto

I'll join you

to help you catch my wicked master

But listen a moment to my plan

Half of you go this way

And the rest go that way

And we'll look for him very quietly

He can't be far from here

No, He can't be far from here

If you see a man and lady walk through the piazza

If beneath a window

You hear a serenader

Then wound him, wound him

It will be my master

He wears a hat on his head

That has white plumes

There's a large cloak on his shoulder

And a sword at his side

If you see a man and lady walk through the piazza

If beneath a window

You hear a serenader

Then wound him

Then wound him, wound him

Half of you go this way

And the rest go that way

And we'll look for him very quietly

He can't be far from here

No, He can't be far from here

Go on, go quickly

But you alone come with me

We can do the rest ourselves

And you'll soon see just what that is

We can do the rest ourselves

And you'll soon see just what that is

Quiet, let me listen

Perfect.

So we have to kill him?

Wouldn't it be enough

to break all his bones?

No, I want to cut him

into a thousand pieces

Do you have weapons?

Of course

I have this musket

And this pistol as well

And what else?

Isn't that enough?

Of course it's enough

Take this for the pistol,

this for the musket

Help!

- Quiet, or you die

This for killing

This for cutting

Villain! Bumpkin!

Ugly dog!

Ouch, my head

Ouch, my shoulders and my chest

Do I hear Masetto's voice?

Zerlina, help me

What happened?

I've been beaten black and blue

You poor thing! Who did this?

Leporello! Or some devil who looks like him

How cruel!

Didn't I tell you

that your senseless jealousy

Would get you into trouble?

Where does it hurt?

- Here

Where else?

Here, and also here

Nowhere else?

I have a bit of pain

in this foot and this hand

It's not so bad

as long as the rest is all right

You can come home with me

But you must promise not to be jealous

You'll see, my love, I'll cure you

My dear husband

You'll see, dearest, if you are good

I'll give you a wonderful remedy

It's natural

It tastes delicious

And the herbalist doesn't make it

He doesn't make it

It's a balm

I carry with me always

I can give it to you

If you want to try it

Would you like to know

Where I keep it?

Feel it beating

Touch me here

Feel it beating

Touch me here.

They approach.

Come to me, my love

Let's stay here until they pass by

What are you afraid of, my husband?

Nothing, nothing

I just want to see if they are still far away

How can I free myself from her?

My love, wait here a moment

Oh, don't leave me alone here

Alone in this dark place

I feel my heart throbbing

I'm overcome by such fear

I feel like I'm going to die

The more I search

The harder it is to find The damn door

Easy, I've found it

Now's my chance to escape from her

Dry those tears, my love

And calm your grieving

The spirit of your father

Will be upset by your agonising

Allow me this bit of relief

From my deep sorrow

Only death, my love

Can end my tears

Oh, where is my husband?

If she finds me, I'm finished

I see a door there, I'll leave quietly

I'll leave quietly

Where are you going, scoundrel?

Death to the perfidious scoundrel

who betrayed me

He is my husband,

have mercy on him

Is that Donna Elvira that I see?

I can't believe it

Have mercy!

No, no, no

Death to him

Have mercy!

No!

Have mercy!

No, no, no

Death to him

Forgive me,

my lords

I am not that man

She is mistaken

For heaven's sake, let me live

For heaven's sake

What? Leporello!

What kind of deception is this?

Leporello!

I'm astonished

How can this be?

A thousand turbulent thoughts

Are spinning in my head

If I escape from this,

it will be a miracle

O Gods, what a day this has become!

What a day of consternation

If I escape from this,

it will be a miracle

A thousand turbulent thoughts

are spinning in my head

If I escape from this,

it will be a miracle

So it was you

who treated my Masetto so cruelly?

So it was you who deceived me

by imitating Don Giovanni?

So it was you

who dressed up to deceive us?

Let me punish him

No, let me

No, leave him to me

Let's all three of us deal with him

Have mercy, my lords,

have mercy

You are right, and so is she

But I'm not the guilty one

My tyrannical, dominating master

Robbed me of my innocence

Donna Elvira, be compassionate

You understand that he made me do it

I know nothing about Masetto

Just ask this young lady

I have been with her

for an hour or so

To you, sir, I say nothing

Certain fears and certain mishaps

Are overtly clear

but obscure inside

No place to hide, the door, the wall

I'll go that way toward the side

And then hide there

as it is known

If I only knew a way out of here

I would have escaped!

Stop, scoundrel! Stop!

The rascal has wings on his feet

He got out of here so skilfully

My friends, After all that has happened

We can no longer doubt that Don Giovanni

Was the barbarous murderer

of Donna Anna's father

Stay here for a few hours

I'll get recourse to justice

I promise you all revenge very soon

Duty demands it,

compassion

and love!

Meanwhile, my dear treasure

try to console

The tears from her eyes

Wipe away

Tell her that I will punish

Those who wronged her

I will only return when I can say

We've been avenged with his death

Meanwhile, my dear treasure try to console

What kind of heinous deeds

Is that wretch embroiled in?

No, heaven's anger

can't be delayed

Or justice postponed

I already feel the fatal thunderbolt

Falling on his head

I see the deadly abyss open

Poor Elvira!

What contrasting emotions

are stirring in your breast!

Why these sighs?

Why this anguish?

He betrayed me, that ungrateful soul

He makes me so unhappy

Betrayed me

And abandoned me

Yet I still feel pity for him

He betrayed me, that ungrateful soul

He makes me so unhappy

Yet I still feel pity for him

When I feel my torment

My heart cries out for revenge

But when I think of the trouble he's in

My heart starts throbbing for him

Ha, ha, this is a good one.

Let her try to find me

What a beautiful night

It's brighter than day.

It's made for going around

in search of girls.

Is it late?

It's not yet two o'clock.

I'd like to know how it went

the affair between Leporello and Elvira.

If he was sensible

He wants to be the ruin of me.

Oh, Leporello!

Who's calling?

Don't you know your master?

If only I didn't!

What,you rascal?

Oh, is that you?

Excuse me

What happened?

Thanks to you,

I was almost killed.

Wouldn't that have been

an honor for you?

Come, come this way

Come this way

I have some great things to tell you

But what are you doing here?

Come inside and you'll find out

All kinds of adventures have

happened in your absence

But I'll save them for another time

The best one I'll tell you now

Is it about women?

Did you doubt it?

A beautiful, young, kind girl

I ran into on the road

I took her hand

but she tried to run

Do you know who she took me for?

I don't know.

For Leporello

- For me?

For you

- Good

Then she took me by the hand

Even better

She kissed me and embraced me

"My dear Leporello!

Leporello, my dear!"

Then I realised

she was some girl of yours.

Damn you!

I took advantage of her mistake

I don't know how

but she recognised me and screamed

It was time to run

So I jumped over this wall here

And you tell me all this

so indifferently?

Why not?

And if the pretty girl was my wife?

Even better!

You will have your last laugh

before dawn.

Who spoke?

Perhaps a ghost

Who knows you well

Quiet, you fool

Who goes there?

Insolent rogue

Let the dead sleep in peace!

I told you!

It's someone playing a joke on us.

Isn't this the statue

of the Commander?

Read me the inscription!

Excuse me...

I never learnt to read by moonlight.

Read, I tell you!

"Upon the evil man who ended my life,

here, I wait to vengeance..."

Did you hear that? I'm trembling

You old buffoon!

Tell him I expect him for dinner tonight

What madness!

I will not

Oh heavens,

What terrible looks he's giving us!

Like he can listen and wants to speak

Get over there or I'll kill you

and bury you here!

Easy, master

As you please.

Oh, most illustrious statue

Of the great Commander

Master! My heart is trembling,

I can't go on.

Finish, or I'll put this blade

through your heart.

What a mess, what folly

What fun, what amusement

I feel myself go cold

I want to make him tremble

Oh, most illustrious statue

Although you're made of marble

Dear master!

Look!

Don't you see him looking at us?

Die!

No, wait

wait!

My lord, my master

My master, not me,

Would like to dine with you!

What a scene this is!

Oh heavens!

He nodded his head

You're a buffoon

You're a buffoon!

Master, look again

What should I look at?

With his marble head

he nods like this, like this.

Speak if you can.

Will you come to dinner?

Yes!

I can hardly move, let's go!

The scene is indeed bizarre.

The old man will come to dinner

Let's go and prepare the meal

Let's leave here,I beg you

Let's go and prepare the meal

Let's leave here,I beg you

Be calm, my love

This libertine shall be punished soon

And we shall be avenged

Oh God, my poor father!

Let's bow our heads to heaven's will

Breathe deeply, my dear

Tomorrow, your loss will be rewarded

By this heart and this hand

My tender love

What are you talking about

at such a sad moment?

What?Do you want to increase my pain

with renewed postponement?

You are so cruel!

Cruel?

Oh no, my love!

I regret so much

that I keep you from a happiness

That our souls have so long desired

But the world, O God

Do not attempt to make waver

My delicate, sensitive heart

My love for you

should be eloquent enough

Don't tell me, my dear love

That I am cruel to you

You know very well

how much I have loved you

You know my faith

You know my faith.

Calm your impatience

If you don't want me to die of sorrow

Calm your impatience

If you don't want me to die of sorrow

Perhaps one day,

Heaven once more will take pity on me.

Now the table is prepared.

Play music, my dear friends!

As I'm spending my money,

I want to enjoy myself

Leporello, serve!

Sir, I'm ready to serve

As I'm spending my money

I want to enjoy myself

Play music, my dear friends!

As I'm spending my money

I want to have a good time

Terrific! That's "Cosa Rara"!

How do you like the concert?

It's consistent with your merit.

Such delicious food

Such a barbarous appetite

Such gigantic mouthfuls

I think I'm going to faint.

Watching me eat like this

he's going to faint.

Such a barbarous appetite

What gigantic mouthfuls

Watching me eat like this

he's going to faint.

What gigantic mouthfuls!

I think I'm going to faint

The next course!

I'm coming

Long live the Litiganti!

Pour more wine!

This Marzimino is outstanding

I'll take this piece of pheasant

And polish it off quietly

That rascal is eating

I'll pretend not to see.

I know this one all too well

Leporello!

Yes, my master

Speak more clearly, you rogue

My voice is somewhat hoarse

I can't get the words out

Whistle a little something while I eat

Don't know how

What's that?

Excuse me

So excellent is your cook,

I wanted a taste too.

So excellent is my cook,

That he wanted to taste it, too

I will give our love one more try

I will be merciful to you

I will forget your betrayals

I now only feel compassion for you

What is this?

This injured soul asks mercy from you

I am amazed!

What do you want?

If you don't rise

I'll kneel with you

Don't mock my anguish

She almost makes me cry

Would I mock you?

Heavens, why?

What is it you want, my love?

That you change your life

Excellent

Faithless heart

Let me eat

And if you wish, you may dine with me.

Stay there, ingrate,

wallowing in your vile crimes.

You horrible example of iniquity!

Here's to women,

here's to good wine

the strength and glory of humanity!

If he's not moved by her grief,

he has a heart of stone or no heart at all.

What was that cry?

Go and see what happened

What a diabolical shout!

Leporello, what is it?

What is it?

Ah, sir, for heaven's sake

Don't go out there

The man of stone, the white man...

Oh master, I'm chilled, I'm fainting

Look what he's doing,

listen to him do it:Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

I don't understand this!

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

You're completely crazy!

Did you hear?

- Someone's knocking

Open the door

- I'm trembling

Open it, I say

Lunatic! To solve this puzzle,

I'll go and open it myself.

I'll never see that man again,

I'll quietly hide.

Don Giovanni

You did invite me

and I have come.

I would never have believed it

But I'll do what I can

Leporello, come serve another meal,

have it brought immediately

We're all going to die

Go, I tell you

Stop right there!

He who dines on heavenly victuals

Has no use for earthly ones

Other, more serious worries

Have brought me here

I feel feverish

and I keep shaking

... Then speak! What is it you ask for?

I feel feverish

and I keep shaking

Then speak,

I am listening to you

You invited me to dinner,

now you know your duty.

Answer me

Answer me!

Will you come to dine with me?

Tell him you have no time

I shall never be accused of cowardice

Then decide!

I have decided

Will you come?

Say no!

My heart is beating steadily

I am not afraid

Give me your hand as a pledge

Here it is

What is it?

- Such deadly coldness

Repent and change your life.

This is your last chance

No, I won't ever repent

Be gone from here

Repent, you scoundrel

No, old fool

Repent!

No!

Repent!

No!

Yes!

No

Yes!

No

Your time is up

What strange shivers

I feel my soul being assailed

Where have all those whirlpools

Of fire and terror come from?

It is too little punishment for your sins

Come, there is even worse for you

Who is tearing my soul to shreds?

Who is jolting me from within?

What torture, what delirium

Where is that contemptible man?

That disgraceful man?

I want to unleash all my anger on him

Only when I see him bound in chains

Will my pain be assuaged

Don't expect to see him again

Search no more

He's gone far away

Tell us what happened

A colossus came here

Tell us, and be quick about it

I can't go on...

Tell us, and be quick about it!

I can't go on

.

Be quick, tell us about it

It was amidst smoke and flame

Listen carefully

The man of stone

He seized him Just under there

That's where he struck

The devil swallowed him up

What are we hearing?

It's all quite true

It must have been the ghost I met

It must have been the ghost she met

Of course, it's the ghost

My love, now that all of us

Have been vindicated by heaven

Give me some comfort now

Don't make me languish anymore

My dear, give me just one year

For my grief to run its course

A faithful love must submit

To the desires of the one he loves

I'll go live in a convent

for the rest of my days

Masetto, let's go home

- Zerlina, let's go home

And I'm going to the tavern

to find a better master

Remain with Persephone and Pluto

And we, good people,

will gaily repeat the ancient moral!

This is fate of miscreants.

Evildoers always come to an equally evil end.
