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,

Who is singing ?

[elias12186]

Anna Moffo!

[cervsancho]

She sounds very nice on all!

[operastar10]

i'm using this as one of my audition pieces for college in the winter. this is such a beautiful and anna moffo sings it so wonderfully.

[singerswithpresence]

Gorgeous execution, ravishing tone and still a lovely freshness to the voice - she makes it sound so easy.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

[Bahia82]

kathleen battle and Anna Moffo have the most beautiful versions of this, simply beautiful

[schlusnus]

Oh dear please listen to Eliz Schumann 's early recording

one must compare.

[mayas2010]

love her interpretation! though a bit heavier than barbara bonney, it still fits zerlina....

[Mariannapetrof]

stupenda!

[Milordvega]

I think Moffo can do Zerlina, Donna Anna or Donna Elvira!

[compeld2sing]

Great! (5*)

[singsalot2010]

lovely interpretation!

i love Anna Moffo <33
