The duet, with words by Lorenzo Da Ponte, is sung during the first act of the opera. Don Giovanni has just met Zerlina and her betrothed, Masetto. In an attempt to distract Masetto and have him removed from the scene, Giovanni offers to host a wedding celebration for the couple at his castle. When Masetto has left, Giovanni attempts to seduce Zerlina to accompany him to his castle. However, after the end of the duet Donna Elvira arrives and thwarts the seduction, leaving with Zerlina. "No Air" lyrics Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? If I should die before I wake It's 'cause you took my breath away Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave My heart won't move, it's incomplete Wish there was a way that I could make you understand But how do you expect me To live alone with just me? 'Cause my world revolves around you It's so hard for me to breathe Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there There's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gon' be without me? If you ain't here I just can't breathe There's no air, no air No air, air No air, air No air, air No air, air I walk, I ran, I jump, I flew Right off the ground to float to you With no gravity to hold me down for real But somehow I'm still alive inside You took my breath but I survived I don't how but I don't even care So how do you expect me To live alone with just me? 'Cause my world revolves around you It's so hard for me to breathe Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there There's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gon' be without me? If you ain't here I just can't breathe There's no air, no air No air, air No air, air No air, air No air, air No more Baby There's no air, no air No air, oh! Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there There's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gon' be without me? If you ain't here I just can't breathe There's no air, no air (No air) (No air) (No air) (No air) Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? Can't live, can't breathe with no air It's how I feel whenever you ain't there There's no air, no air Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gon' be without me? If you ain't here I just can't breathe There's no air, no air No air, air No air, air No air, air No air
