Kathleen Battle (ZERLINA) singing Aria "Batti, batti, o bel Masetto" with Wiener Philharmoniker conducted by Herbert Von Karajan;

ZERLINA;
Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,
La tua povera Zerlina;
Starò qui come agnellina
Le tue botte ad aspettar.
Lascierò straziarmi il crine,
Lascierò cavarmi gli occhi,
E le care tue manine
Lieta poi saprò baciar.
Ah, lo vedo, non hai core!
Pace, pace, o vita mia,
In contento ed allegria
Notte e dì vogliam passar,
Si, notte e dì vogliam passar.

DON GIOVANNI
Finch'han dal vino
Calda la testa
Una gran festa
Fa preparar.
Se trovi in piazza
Qualche ragazza,
Teco ancor quella
Cerca menar.
Senza alcun ordine
La danza sia;
Chi il minuetto,
Chi la follia,
Chi l'alemanna
Farai ballar.
Ed io frattanto
Dall'altro canto
Con questa e quella
Vo' amoreggiar.
Ah! la mia lista
Doman mattina
D'una decina
Devi aumentar!


ZERLINA
Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,
La tua povera Zerlina;
Starò qui come agnellina
Le tue botte ad aspettar.
Lascerò straziarmi il crine,
Lascerò cavarmi gli occhi,
E le care tue manine
Lieta poi saprò baciar.
Ah, lo vedo, non hai core!
Pace, pace, o vita mia,
In contento ed allegria
Notte e dì vogliam passar,
Sì, notte e dì vogliam passar.

Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,
la tua povera Zerlina;
starò qui com'agnellina
le tue botte ad aspettar.
Batti, batti, ecc.
Lascierò straziarmi il crine,
lascierò cavarmi gli occhi,
e le care tue manine
lieta poi saprò baciar.
Batti, batti, ecc.
Ah, lo vedo, non hai core!
Pace, pace, o vita mia,
in contenti ed allegria
notte e dì vogliam passar,

Beat me, beat me, my Masetto,
beat your poor Zerlina.
I'll stay here like a lamb
and await your every blow.
Beat me, beat me, etc.
I'll let you pull my hair out,
I'll let you gouge my eyes out,
and then happily I will kiss
your wonderfully sweet hands.
Beat me, beat me, etc.
Ah, I see you have no heart!
Let's make up, my own true love.
In happiness and joy
we must pass the days and nights,

Frappe, frappe, ô bel Masetto,
ta pauvre Zerlina ;
je serai là comme une agnelle
à attendre tes coups.
Frappe, frappe, etc.
Je te laisserai m'arracher les cheveux,
je te laisserai m'enlever les yeux,
et tes petites mains adorées,
heureuse, ensuite je saurai embrasser.
Frappe, frappe, etc.
Ah, je le vois, tu n'en as pas le coeur !
La paix, la paix, ô ma vie,
dans le bonheur et la joie
nuits et jours nous voulons passer,

Schlag mich, schlag mich, mein Masetto,
schlag deine arme Zerlina;
ich werde stehen wie ein Lamm
und deine Schläge erwarten.
Schlag mich, schlag mich, usw.
Du kannst mir das Haar ausreißen,
mir die Augen auskratzen,
und ich werde beglückt
deine lieben Hände küssen.
Schlag mich, schlag mich, usw.
Ach, ich sehe, du hast kein Herz!
Frieden, Frieden, o mein Leben,
glücklich und voller Freude
wollen wir Tage und Nächte verbringen,





Huguette Tourangeau as Zerlina! Richard Bonynge Conductor. Met, New York. http://operafree.forumfree.net





Batti Batti in English from Mozart's Don Giovanni. Karen Burlingame and Barry Johnson, 2001 performance. Benton Hess, conductor. David Bartholomew, director. For those concerned that it's in English, it's not a concert performance. It's an excerpt from a performance of the entire opera, from a company that performed in the local vernacular.
