Vissi d'arte (from 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? |
