Don Luis
Jamás tal desasosiego I have never experienced
tuve. Paréceme que es such apprehension. It seems to me
esta noche hora menguada tonight will be a wearing
para mí... y no sé qué vago one for me....I don't know what strange
presentimiento, qué estrago foreboding, what disastrous change
teme mi alma acongojada. my afflicted soul is fearing.
¡Por Dios que nunca pensé By God, I never really
que a doña Ana amara así, thought I would love Ana so
ni por ninguna sentí or feel for anyone though
lo que por ella...! ¡Oh! Y a fe what I feel for her. Oh, truly,
que de don Juan me amedrenta Don Juan's not the better of us two
no el valor, mas la ventura. in courage, but only in luck.
Parece que le asegura It seems that Satan writes the book
Satanás en cuanto intenta. of whatever he tries to do.
No, no: es un hombre infernal, No, no. He's a devil infernal
y téngome para mí and I truly fear
que si me aparto de aquí that if I move away from here
me burla, pese a Pascual. he'll trick me, in spite of Pascual.
Y aunque me tenga por necio, And even if I'm considered a born
quiero entrar: que con don Juan fool I'll go in, for with Don Juan
las precauciones no están one's defence must be planned
para vistas con desprecio. not viewed with scorn.
(Llama a la ventana.) (He knocks on the window)
