Aria-Database Translation:
Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,
Beat me, dear Masetto,
La tua povera Zerlina;
Your poor Zerlina.
Starò qui come agnellina
I'll stand here as meek as a lamb
Le tue botte ad aspettar.
and bear the blows you lay on me.
Lascierò straziarmi il crine,
You can tear my hair out,
Lascierò cavarmi gli occhi,
put out my eyes,
E le care tue manine
yet your dear hands
Lieta poi saprò baciar.
gladly I'll kiss.
Ah, lo vedo, non hai core!
Ah! I see you've no mind to:
Pace, pace, o vita mia,
let's make peace, dearest love!
In contento ed allegria
In happiness and joy
Notte e dì vogliam passar,
let's pass our days and nights.
