by Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749 - 1838)

Metà di voi qua vadano
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
(accennando a destra)
Metà di voi qua vadano,  
(accennando a sinistra)
e gli altri vadan là,
e pian pianin lo cerchino:
lontan non fia di qua.
Se un uom e una ragazza
passeggian per la piazza;
se sotto a una finestra
fare all'amor sentite,
ferite pur, ferite:
il mio padron sarà!
In testa egli ha un cappello
con candidi pennacchini;
addosso un gran mantello,
e spada al fianco egli ha.
Andate, fate presto!
(i contadini partono; a Masetto:)
Tu sol verrai con me.
Noi far dobbiamo il resto;
e già vedrai cos'è.
