"I live for art, I live for love, I've never harmed a living soul.

With a furtive hand, so many troubles I encountered.

Always with sincere faith, my prayer rose to the holy tabernacles, always with sincere faith, I gave flowers to the altars.

In my hour of sorrow, why, why Lord? Why do you repay me so?

I gave jewels to the Madonna's mantel and I gave my singing to the stars in the heavens, which then shined more beautifully in my hour of sorrow.

Why, why Lord? Ah! Why do you repay me so?"

• lyrics by Luigi Illica
