The man who's escorting Don Juan to his bride
The man escorting Don Juan to his bride is aware of Don Juan's arrogant pride.
Knows he is courting an impudent pride

Think of his jealousy, oh, where will he hide?
Reflect on the intense jealousy and wonder where the man will conceal it.

An impasse has been reached with the teacher of the rich
A deadlock has been reached with the rich teacher; quitting discreetly would be swift but not an option.
To quit would be discreet and swift
Leaving the rich teacher would be a discreet and quick solution.
But you know that I can't do that
Expressing the inability to quit, foreseeing it as a disaster.
It would be a disaster
Emphasizing that quitting would result in a disaster.
It would be a disaster
Repetition of the disastrous outcome if quitting occurs.
I've got this sinking feeling, I'm not dreaming
Experiencing a sinking feeling, realizing that it's not a dream; regret will follow soon.
We'll be sorry soon
Anticipating regret in the near future.
At the end of the day, when everyone's resigned
By the end of the day, when everyone has accepted the reality and measures in mind.
To the heart of the matter and the measures in mind
Referring to the core of the issue and the planned actions.
King Zog's back from holiday, Mary Lupescu's grey
Mentions the return of King Zog from holiday and the aging of Mary Lupescu; King Alexander is dead in Marseilles.
And King Alexander is dead in Marseilles
Providing updates on political figures and events.
An impasse has been reached with the teacher of the rich,
Reiteration of the deadlock with the rich teacher; quitting discreetly is a tempting but unfeasible option.
To quit would be discrete and swift
Repeating the idea that quitting discreetly would be swift but not a practical choice.
But you know that I can't do that
Emphasizing the impossibility of quitting, foreseeing it as a disaster.
It would be a disaster
Reiterating that quitting would result in a disaster.
It would be a disaster
Repetition of the disastrous outcome if quitting occurs.
I've got this sinking feeling, I'm not dreaming
Experiencing a sinking feeling, realizing that it's not a dream; regret will follow soon.
We'll be sorry soon.
Anticipating regret in the near future.
