Voglio entrare per la finestra

I Want to Enter Through the Window

This record begins with the aria 'I Want to Enter Through the Window' by Giovanni Colpocorto. At times it seems composed by Mozart, by Rossini or, in the end, by De Sica, all of which does not contradict the authorship of Colpocorto but rather confirms it. The repeated irruption of the elderly double bassist Gerardo Altritempi and the excesses of soloist and choir are irregularities that we hope the listener can disguise as we have not achieved it in the recording.

In the usual lyrical space of Les Luthiers, you will hear 'I Want to Enter Through the Window' from the opera 'Leonora or The Love with the Minstrel' by Giovanni Colpocorto. Version by tenor Sergio Tulian, choir and orchestra of the opera of the Cotolengo de Santa Eduvigis, under the direction of the author.

The minstrel Ludovico tries to climb the wall of his beloved Leonora and sing his love aria to her. Ludovico climbs, fears, trembles, ingeniously insinuated by the contrasting rhythmic motifs, by the exuberant orchestration and because Ludovico says: I climb, I fear, I tremble. Suddenly, the minstrel is surprised by the girl's father, who cuts the scale. Events precipitate. However, Ludovico insists on reaching his beloved. He wants to sing his love aria to her and only that, although he thinks less and less about singing and more about just that.

I want to enter through the window and sing this masterful aria
but I fear that her father will surprise me climbing the wall of Leonor
I fear so much but I always sing, because singing is my way of expression
but the wall is not safe at night, I climb and sing and tremble so much that I don't know if I tremble sing,
I tremble fear fear sing sing tremble I don't know,
if I tremble sing I don't know.

What do I hear...
What are you doing, professors
What do I hear... help... the ladder doesn't resist,
the ladder doesn't resist, help....oaoaaaaaa

With the elevator available to the public, the owner is not responsible for the accident caused by the use of the ladder.

NARRATOR:
From this moment on, the participating stations continue with the broadcast of their respective programs.

Leonor, your cursed but surprised father has cut my ladder.
I am half dead, Leonor, but I will return, always singing I will return, yes I will return
Always singing I will return, yes I will return... singing in the elevator.

I sing to you, I sing because singing is my way of expression
Leonor waits for me, my little girl, the beautiful chubby one, my heart offends her,
she traps me with her tightness and I reach my goal, Leonor always - excuse me - eeeeeee,
with you, with you,

Leonor, we are alone, I want to do something certain, I want to do, ready...
I want to do Leonor, I want to do eeaaaeeaaaa

Hey, with the elevator available to the public, the, ahem ahem

Leonor, for my honor, I want to do with you, Leonor, Leonor, ready
I want to do with you..... with you, I want to do with you...
But how Leonora, what do you say... that you must consult with your father?
But run to consult with your father, but Leonora,
you are fiancée, seven years doing the fiancé,
then tell me this, the thing to believe security
that I am the first to make mistakes in the stupid sin,
bad sheep!

(Neighbors' voices)

- Tocachoni, forget it!

- In this house you can't sleep, damn it!

- Renatta, Renatta, call the police Renatta!

- He's with this serenade, walk, walk, go!

- Have you seen, have you seen, another night without sleep!
