Se vuol ballare – Le nozze di Figaro

If you want to dance
Signor Contino,
The guitar
I’ll play it.
If you want to come
To my school
The somersault
I’ll teach you.
I’ll find out... but slowly,
It’s better every mystery
To conceal
I can uncover them!
The art of evading,
The art of endeavouring,
Here pricking,
There joking,
All these schemes
I’ll overthrow them.
If you want to dance
Signor Contino,
The guitar
I’ll play it.


Bryn Terfel as Figaro in Mozart's, "The Marriage of Figaro".
