Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore, non feci mai male ad anima viva!... Con man furtiva quante miserie conobbi, aiutai... Sempre con fe sincera, la mia preghiera ai santi tabernacoli sali. Sempre con fe sincera diedi fiori agli altar. Nell'ora del doloer perche perche, Signore, perche, me ne rimuneri cosi?... Diedi gioirlli della Madonna al manto, e diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel, che ne ridean piu belli. Nell'ora del dolre Perche, perche, Signore, perche me ne rimuneri cosi?
I lived for art, I lived for love; Never did I harm a living creature!... Whatever misfortunes I encountered I sought with secret hand to succour... Ever in pure faith, my prayers rose in the holy chapels. Ever in pure faith, I brought flowers to the altars. in this hour of pain. Why, why, oh Lord, why, dost Thou repay me thus? Jewels I brought for the Madonna's mantle, and songs for the stars in heaven that they shone forth with greater radiance. In this hour of distress. Why, why, oh Lord, why dost Thou repay me thus?
