Donna Anna (pushing Don Octavio aside) :
Cruel, why art thou near me?
Leave me alone to perish!
Since he I most did cherish,
Is lost forever more!
Don Ottavio:
Listen to me, O listen,
Turn but thine eyes up on me.
I know thou'lt not disown me,
Who love thee ever more.
Donna Anna:
'Tis thou forgive, oh, dearest,
Of all now left me the nearest,
My father I would see!
Don Ottavio:
Your father?
Hush, oh, dearest,
Breathe not the word thou fearest,
Thou'st husband and father in me.
Donna Anna:
Ah! My father, my father I would see!
Don Ottavio:
Hush, oh, dearest,
Breathe not the world thou fearest,
Thou'st husband and father in me. |
Donna Anna:
Ah! if thou canst, avenge him,
Swear it by heaven above!
Don Ottavio:
I swear it. I swear it.
By heaven I will avenge him,
I swear it on our love!
Donna Anna and Don Ottavio:
Oh vow of wrath and terror!
Oh night of dread lamenting!
Oh when will heaven relenting
Grant us of hope a ray,
Oh when will heaven relenting
Grant us of hope a ray.
Donna Anna:
If thou canst, avenge him, swear it!
Don Ottavio:
I swear it,
I will avenge him
I swear it by our love!
Donna Anna and Don Ottavio:
Oh vow of wrath and terror!
Oh night of wild lamenting!
Oh when will heaven relenting
Grant us of hope a ray,
Oh when will heaven relenting
Grant us of hope a ray. |
