Là ci darem la mano [English translation]

DON GIOVANNI

Give me thy hand, oh fairest,

Whisper a gentle 'Yes',

Come, if for me thou carest,

With joy my life to bless.

ZERLINA

I would, and yet I would not,

I dare not give assent,

Alas! I know I should not...

Too late, I may repent.

DON GIOVANNI

Come, dearest, let me guide thee.

ZERLINA

Masetto sure will chide me!

DON GIOVANNI

Danger shall ne'er come nigh thee!

ZERLINA

Ah … that I could deny thee!

ZERLINA and DON GIOVANNI

With thee, with thee, my treasure,

This life is nought but pleasure,

My heart is fondly thine.
