Here the sire may serve the dam
Here the master takes his meat
Here the sacrificial lamb
Utters one despairing bleat
CARLOTTA & ENSEMBLE
Poor young maiden For the thrill
On your tongue of stolen sweets
You will have to pay the bill
Tangled in the winding sheets
Serve the meal and serve the maid
Serve the master so that, when
Tables, plans and maids are laid
Don Juan triumphs once again
Signor Piangi, as Don Juan, emerges from behind the arch Meg, a gypsy dancer, poses coquettishly for him He throws her a purse She catches it and leaves
PIANGI as Don Juan
Passarino, faithful friend
Once again, recite the plan
PASSARINO
Your young guest believes I'm you
I, the master you, the man
PIANGI as Don Juan
When you met, you wore my cloak
She could not have seen your face
She believes she dines with me
In her master's borrowed place
Furtively, we'll scoff and quaff
Stealing what, in truth, is mine
When it's late and modesty
Starts to mellow, with the wine
PASSARINO
You come home I use your voice
Slam the door like crack of doom
PIANGI as Don Juan
I shall say, Come, hide with me
Where, oh, where Of course my room
PASSARINO
Poor thing hasn't got a chance
PIANGI as Don Juan
Here's my hat, my cloak and sword
Conquest is assured
If I do not forget myself and laugh
Don Juan takes Passarino's cloak and goes into the curtained alcove, where the Phantom is waiting for him
CHRISTINE as Aminta offstage, entering
No thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy
No dreams within her heart but dreams of love
The PHANTOM, disguised as Don Juan pretending to be Passarino emerges from behind the curtain He now wears passarino's robe, with a mask to hide his face
PASSARINO
Master
PHANTOM as Don Juan
Passarino go away
For the trap is set and waits for its prey
You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent
Silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind, you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me
No second thoughts, you've decided
Decided
Here the sire may serve the dam
Here the master takes his meat
Here the sacrificial lamb
Utters one despairing bleat
