Veronique Gens sings Batti Batti O Bel Masetto

Mozart Don Giovanni
Zerlina's Act 1 aria Batti Batti
Veronique Gens
Ivor Bolton

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,

[543johnson]

Beautiful, but Gens sounds more like a Donna Elvira than a Zerlina.

[staybeautiful101]

exquisite voice! so full of emotion and stunningly beautiful aswell..

[KassandraSoprano]

...is it a half tone lower?

[Hisrevenge]

I love her voice, I was slightly disappointed at my favorite part with the B flats being flat.

[cazonetta]

I agree, it has some quality of Elvira's spinto in it. Still, I prefer Gens's technique to others who have sung Batti. Her singing is simply AMAZING.

[Medea59]

Wunderschöne Mozartstimme!

[serbel01]

Voce angelica! bella interpretazione, il leggero accento straniero gli dà un che di sensuale, molto brava!

[TamiLona]

I like this voice. but i don't like how she singing..

[NathalieDessayFan]

I like this voice! I think it's perfect for this!

The orchestra is good, too.

[PeterPan060]

I think I've died and gone to heaven. Several times. You are a genius, elias; thank you so much for posting these! Aaaahhhhhhhh. X)
