collera - sentite - lasciatemi parlar.<br />

Come, my dear <strong>Don</strong>na Elvira, calm yourself.<br />
Listen. Let me speak.<br />

What can you say, after so black a deed?<br />
DON GIOVANNI<br />
If you don’t believe what I say,<br />
then believe this gentleman here.<br />

Go on, tell her.<br />
LEPORELLO<br />
And what shall I tell her?<br />
DON GIOVANNI<br />
Yes, yes, tell her anything.<br />

DONNA ELVIRA<br />
All right, but hurry up.<br />

aperçoive.)<br />
