| [00:00.30] |
DON QUIXOTE Dulcinea... |
| [00:01.82] |
ALDONZA Enough of that! |
| [00:04.28] |
Get yourself to a madhouse! |
| [00:05.50] |
Rave about nobility where no one can hear you! |
| [00:08.53] |
DON QUIXOTE My lady!... |
| [00:09.75] |
ALDONZA I am not your lady!... |
| [00:11.70] |
|
| [00:12.89] |
I am not any kind of a lady! |
| [00:15.13] |
|
| [00:17.07] |
I was spawned in a ditch |
| [00:19.13] |
By a mother who left me there, |
| [00:23.15] |
Naked and cold and too hungry to cry; |
| [00:27.80] |
I never blamed her. |
| [00:29.35] |
I'm sure she left hoping |
| [00:32.25] |
That I'd have the good sense to die! |
| [00:35.60] |
|
| [00:37.37] |
Then, of course, there's my father... |
| [00:39.28] |
I'm told that young ladies |
| [00:42.11] |
Can point to their fathers |
| [00:44.87] |
With maidenly pride; |
| [00:47.50] |
Mine was some regiment |
| [00:50.18] |
Here for an hour, |
| [00:52.77] |
I can't even tell you which side! |
| [00:55.73] |
|
| [00:57.50] |
So of course I became, |
| [01:00.24] |
As befitted my delicate birth, |
| [01:05.23] |
The most casual bride |
| [01:07.41] |
Of the murdering scum of the earth! |
| [01:10.96] |
DON QUIXOTE And still thou art my lady. |
| [01:12.42] |
ALDONZA And still he torments me! |
| [01:15.20] |
How should I be a lady? |
| [01:16.87] |
For a lady has modest and maidenly airs, |
| [01:21.78] |
And a virtue I somehow suspect that I lack; |
| [01:26.93] |
It's hard to remember these maidenly airs |
| [01:31.64] |
In a stable laid flat on your back! |
| [01:34.81] |
|
| [01:36.57] |
Won't you look at me, look at me, |
| [01:39.25] |
God, won't you look at me! |
| [01:41.76] |
Look at the kitchen slut reeking of sweat! |
| [01:46.82] |
Born on a dung heap to die on a dung heap, |
| [01:51.86] |
A strumpet men use and forget! |
| [01:54.61] |
|
| [01:56.44] |
If you feel that you see me |
| [01:58.93] |
Not quite at my virginal best, |
| [02:03.93] |
Cross my palm with a coin, |
| [02:06.53] |
And I'll willingly show you the rest! |
| [02:09.71] |
|
| [02:10.72] |
DON QUIXOTE Never deny thou art Dulcinea. |
| [02:12.08] |
ALDONZA Take the clouds from your eyes |
| [02:13.88] |
and see me as I really am! |
| [02:15.98] |
You have shown me the sky, |
| [02:18.20] |
But what good is the sky |
| [02:20.90] |
To a creature who'll never |
| [02:23.07] |
Do better than crawl? |
| [02:25.94] |
Of all the cruel bastards |
| [02:28.05] |
Who've badgered and battered me, |
| [02:31.16] |
You are the cruelest of all! |
| [02:33.62] |
|
| [02:35.33] |
Can't you see what your gentle |
| [02:38.11] |
Insanities do to me? |
| [02:40.80] |
Rob me of anger and give me despair! |
| [02:45.47] |
Blows and abuse |
| [02:47.51] |
I can take and give back again, |
| [02:50.73] |
Tenderness I cannot bear! |
| [02:53.12] |
|
| [02:54.71] |
So please torture me now |
| [02:56.87] |
With your "Sweet Dulcineas" no more! |
| [03:02.24] |
I am no one! I'm nothing! |
| [03:04.66] |
I'm only Aldonza the whore! |
| [03:08.56] |
DON QUIXOTE Now and forever thou art my lady Dulcinea! |
| [03:12.40] |
(Aldonza screams in despair and collapses. |
