Vissi d'arte

Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore,non feci mai male ad anima viva!Con man furtivaquante miserie conobbi aiutai.Sempre con fè sincerala mia preghieraai santi tabernacoli salì.Sempre con fè sinceradiedi fiori agl’altar.Nell’ora del doloreperché, 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 dolorperché, perché, Signor,ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?

I lived for art

I lived for art, I lived for loveI never did harm to a living soulWith a furtive handso many troubles I encountered I soothedAlways with sincere faithmy prayerrose to the holy tabernaclesAlways with sincere faithI gave flowers to the altarsIn my hour of sorrowwhy, why, Lordwhy do you repay me so?I gave jewels to the Madonna's mantleand I gave my singing to the stars in heavenwhich then shined more beautifullyIn my hour of sorrowwhy, why, Lordoh, why do you repay me so?
