"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?"
