[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.
