Libretto - Mozart's Don Giovanni - a rock opera
1 - Overture
2 - Seville. Some time ago. It is a little after midnight. In the garden in front of Donna Anna's home, Leporello stands guard.
LEPORELLO
Night and day I slave away
This routine is getting old
It snows all night and it rains all day
I’m tired, I'm wet, and my feet are cold
Oh, I want to be the rich man
And no longer be the slave
There is nothing more I crave
No, no, no, no, no, no
No longer be his slave
(Leporello removes his hat and bows to Don Giovanni, who is inside the house)
You are such a gentleman
You’re inside with the pretty lady
While I hide here in the shady
While feeling shady I'm feeling shady
Oh, if I were a rich man
I would trade this frostbite for gout
There is not a single doubt
No, no, no, no, no, no
The rich man's disease is gout
Uh-oh I think someone is coming
Yes, I know, someone is coming
And my voice must not be heard
And I cannot be found out here
No, my voice cannot be heard
No, no, no, no, no, no,
I must not be found out here
3 - Leporello hides. Don Giovanni rushes in trying to escape from Donna Anna. ANNA
You better kill me now
Because I will never let you get away
GIOVANNI
Silly girl stop your complaining
You got everything you wanted here today
GIOVANNI | LEPORELLO | ANNA |

Who do you think that you are fooling? You had passion in your eyes Yes, I felt the sweetness of your kiss | What a racket Oh God, such screaming This time we may not be ok | You deceived me and yes I was foolish You seduced me with your lies Show me your face You are the devil in disguise |
ANNA
Someone help me stop this man
GIOVANNI
Shut your mouth and stop this screaming ANNA
You're a bastard
GIOVANNI Foolish woman
GIOVANNI | ANNA |
|---|---|
Like the others | What a bastard |
GIOVANNI | LEPORELLO | ANNA |
|---|---|---|
Such theatrics | He has gone too far He’s crossed the line And I am guilty, too | You should have killed me |
You are a woman and you only want one thing | What's he doing? | I'm not joking and I promise you one thing |
Your mouth says no And yet your body wants to dance I did not hear you complain, love
| Oh God, such screaming | If you don't kill me while you Still have half a chance I won't rest until I'm certain who you are I will hunt you down and find you |
When you brought me to your bed | Propriety says in polite society A man who has integrity Would help the damsel categorically Well, that man is not me | I will find out who you are |
You enjoyed it Tell the truth now | | You deceived me Such a liar |
No regrets, love | I am a slave of duty So, I cannot help this beauty Or I would | Someone help me |
I think you're taking this a little bit too far I will be gone because I always get away | Would that I could Someone should help her | I'll hunt you down and I will find out who you are You may escape but you will never get away |
You will never find me | | You may escape then I will find you |
You are taking this too far | Now's my chance to run away And find a job with better pay Yes, a better situation With a pension, paid vacation, Health and dental, too | I will find out who you are |
| But I must stop this dreaming While the lady keeps on screaming He has gone too far and I am guilty, too | |
