[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!
