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? |
