Mozart: Don Giovanni / Act 1 - "Madamina, il catalogo è questo" - Wladimiro Ganzarolli, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Colin Davis

Madamina, il catalogo è questo

Delle belle che amò il padron mio;

Un catalogo egli è che ho fatt’io;

Osservate, leggete con me

Osservate, leggete con me

In Italia seicento e quaranta;

In Alemagna duecento e trentuna;

Cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna;

Ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre

Mille e tre

Mille e tre

V’han fra queste contadine

Cameriere, cittadine

V’han contesse, baronesse

Marchesane, principesse

E v’han donne d’ogni grado

D’ogni forma, d’ogni età

D’ogni forma, d’ogni età

In Italia seicento e quaranta;

In Alemagna duecento e trentuna;

Cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna;

Ma, ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre

Mille e tre

Mille e tre

V’han fra queste contadine

Cameriere, cittadine

V’han contesse, baronesse

Marchesane, principesse

E v’han donne d’ogni grado

D’ogni forma, d’ogni età

D’ogni forma, d’ogni età

D’ogni forma, d’ogni età

Nella bionda egli ha l’usanza

Di lodar la gentilezza

Nella bruna la costanza

Nella bianca la dolcezza

Vuol d’inverno la grassotta

Vuol d’estate la magrotta;

È la grande maestosa

La piccina, la piccina, la piccina, la piccina

È ognor vezzosa

È ognor vezzosa

È ognor vezzosa

Delle vecchie fa conquista

Pel piacer di porle in lista;

Sua passion predominante

È la giovin principiante

Non si picca — se sia ricca

Se sia brutta, se sia bella;

Purché porti la gonnella

Voi sapete quel che fa

Voi sapete quel che fa

Purché porti la gonnella

Voi sapete quel che fa

Voi sapete, voi sapete quel che fa

Madamina, this is the catalog

Of the beautiful ones that my master loved;

He is a catalog that I made;

Watch, read with me

Watch, read with me

In Italy six hundred and forty;

In Alemagna two hundred and thirty-one;

One hundred in France, ninety-one in Turkey;

But in Spain there are already a thousand and three

Thousand and three

Thousand and three

There are among these peasant women

Waiter, townspeople

Countesses have you, baronesses

Marquis, princesses

And there are women of all levels

Of every shape, of every age

Of every shape, of every age

In Italy six hundred and forty;

In Alemagna two hundred and thirty-one;

One hundred in France, ninety-one in Turkey;

But, but in Spain there are already a thousand and three

Thousand and three

Thousand and three

There are among these peasant women

Waiter, townspeople

Countesses have you, baronesses

Marquis, princesses

And there are women of all levels

Of every shape, of every age

Of every shape, of every age

Of every shape, of every age

In the blonde he has the custom

To praise kindness

In the brunette the constancy

In the white the sweetness

She wants the plump one in winter

He wants the lean in summer;

It is the great majestic

The little one, the little one, the little one, the little one

It is all charming

It is all charming

It is all charming

It conquers the old women

For the pleasure of putting them on the list;

His predominant passion

She is the young beginner

She doesn't hit herself - if she's rich

If she is ugly, if she is beautiful;

As long as you wear a skirt

You know what it does

You know what it does

As long as you wear a skirt

You know what it does

You know, you know what it does
