Vissi D'arte - Tosca

I lived for art, I lived for love
I never harmed a living soul!
With a furtive hand
How many miseries I knew, I helped
Always with sincere faith
My prayer
Rose to the holy tabernacles
Always with sincere faith
I gave flowers to the altars
In the hour of pain
Why, why, Lord
Why do you reward me like this?
I gave jewels to the mantle of the Madonna
And I gave song to the stars, to the sky
Which shone more beautifully
In the hour of pain
Why, why, Lord
Ah, why do you reward me like this?
