"In Espagna, mille tre..."

Your search - "In Espagna, mille tre" - did not match any documents.

help!

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

[I shall try this again and see if it will actually work this time...)

~g~ In the opera Don Giovanni (the story of which I'll assume you vaguely know) Don G's servant, Leporello, says this while disillusioning one of Don G's conquests by showing her the catalogue he keeps of all the women Don G has seduced in every country.

I do apologise, though - the reason you couldn't find it anywhere is because the libretto I have that I quoted it from is wrong, and it should read "in Ispagna, mille e tre" - damn my nonexistent Italian, I'm sorry about that.



~g~ Rough translation of the aria :



My lady, this is the list of the beauties that my master has loved; a list that I made myself; Look here and read with me.

In Italy six hundred and forty; In Germany two hundred and thirty one; One hundred in France, in Turkey ninety one; But in Spain, a thousand and one.

There are among these peasant girls, servants, townspeople, there are countesses, baronesses, marquesses, princesses. And there are women of every class, of every shape, of every age.

With the blondes he usually praises their manners, with the brunettes their faithfulness, with the gray-haired ones their sweetness. In the winter he wants the heavy ones, in the summer he wants the slim ones; the big ones are majestic, the little ones are charming; he goes after the old ones for the pleasure of putting them on the list; his overiding passion are the young beginners. He doesn't care if a woman is rich, if she's ugly, if she's pretty; as long as she has a skirt on, you know what he does.



Tee hee.

In my favourite production, Leporello uses a Psion... and Paul uses a Palm. Spooky...

Listen closely, and I'll try to explain it.
With a system like this it's so easy
To recall all the names and addresses
Of the women my guv'nor has had;
I'm afraid he's no Galahad.

[..]

You are shocked, I can see.
But it doesn't stop at women:
He is keen on sheep and goats
Although I must admit it makes it
Rather hard to keep my notes
Because it's rare to find a sheep
That's got a forwarding address.
See, you're just a tiny part
Of a nation's broken heart.

Palms are just classier. Although the potential for puns is deafening!

Cool! thanks!

Of course, I'm the *nice* sort of slut...

Of course you are, dear. ~pats you gently on the arm~ Of course.

When it was coming up to my tenth anniversary of first getting laid, I sat in the train station near kitty_goth's old place and made a list on my Palm Pilot so I'd know the right figure. Yes, I know it's sad.

It Could Be Worse!

[ladycat.livejournal.com]

I have a perfect record of exactly how many people I've kissed too ;)

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

Well, so do I, but that's only seven people...~grin~

[ladycat.livejournal.com]

*gulp* Tell me you're seven times younger than me please ;)

Seven Deadly Sins?

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

~g~ No, just hopeless and shy and the like.

Seven Deadly Sins...hmm...five of them aren't likely to prove deadly, and the two of them that might I don't mind...~grin~

The Seventy Deadly Sins

[ladycat.livejournal.com]

Hey, shyness is no excuse, just look at my Nils (it only took him two years to kiss me ;)

Re: It Could Be Worse!

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

I would, if I could remember them all. Damn you, alcohol!

Re: It Could Be Worse!

[hfnuala.livejournal.com]

I don't have a record but I'm pretty certain I could name them all (well, except for the guy I snogged for like a minute after my debs, who then got back into bed with his date, but he doesn't count - I could name his date cause I had a crush on her for years when we were in school).

I just didn't put it about enough when I was young and single, that's my trouble.

[lapis-lazuli.livejournal.com]

I keep a record too.

After every new partner I used to test myself and see if I could remember them in order.

I tried to reconstruct this the other day, actually, but I can't help feeling I've left some out.

What is my best physical feature? There are so many to choose from :-)

You are soooo much worse than me.

But only in a good way ;)

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

Sad thing is, though, that it's true, damn it. ~g~

Well, my first thought was my frame, which someone else mentioned. Or my figure, which is a little different. But then I thought maybe I should go for my cheekbones, or my eyes or perhaps my eyelashes, and last but not least my HAIR! So I'm torn.

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

and last but not least my HAIR!

How that could not have been your first thought I'll never know...

So anyway, I have Latin revision to do...~g~
