Dalla sua pace - Don Giovanni

My peace depends upon her peace;

That which pleases her gives life to me,

That which hurts her gives death to me.

If she sighs, I sigh as well;

Her wrath is mine, her cry is mine;

And I have no good, if she has none.

Il Mio Tesoro – Don Giovanni

Meanwhile,
Go to console my sweetheart,
And those beautiful crying eyes
Try to dry them.

Tell her that her wrongs
I am going to avenge,
Only carnage and death
Will announce my return.
