Puccini: Tosca, Act 2 Scene 5: "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" (Tosca)

(original)
Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore
Non feci mai male ad anima viva!
Con man furtiva
Quante miserie conobbi aiutai
Sempre con fè sincera
La mia preghiera
Ai santi tabernacoli salì
Sempre con fè sincera
Diedi fiori agli altar
Nell’ora del dolore
Perché, perché, Signore
Perché me ne rimuneri così?
Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto
E diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel
Che ne ridean più belli
Nell’ora del dolore
Perché, perché, Signore
Ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?
(translation)
I lived on art, I lived on love
I never hurt a soul!
With stealthy man
How many miseries I knew I helped
Always with sincere faith
My prayer
He went up to the holy tabernacles
Always with sincere faith
I gave flowers to the altar
In the hour of pain
Why, why, Lord
Why do you pay me back like that?
I gave the Madonna's jewels to the mantle
And I gave the song to the stars, to heaven
What more beautiful laughs
In the hour of pain
Why, why, Lord
Ah, why do you pay me so?
