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 agl’altar. |
Nell’ora del dolore |
perchè, perchè, Signore, |
perchè 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 dolor |
perchè, perchè, Signor, |
ah, perchè me ne rimuneri così? |
(translation) |
I lived of art, I lived of 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 song to the stars, to heaven, |
who laugh more beautifully. |
In the hour of pain |
why, why, mister, |
ah, why do you pay me so? |
