Here's my entry for Vocalists-Trail Steemian Idol Heat 2!
This song is from Puccini's opera, Tosca, called Vissi d'arte.
It's really a prayer that I think a lot of people can relate to: why when we try to do good, do bad things happen to us? I've provided a translation below (since it's in Italian).
I never did harm to a living soul!
With a secret hand
I relieved as many misfortunes as I knew of.
Always with true faith
my prayer
rose to the holy shrines.
Always with true faith
I gave flowers to the altar.
In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
why do you reward me thus?
I gave jewels for the Madonna’s mantle,
and I gave my song to the stars, to heaven,
which smiled with more beauty.
In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
ah, why do you reward me thus?
Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed my singing, or like piano music, please follow me!
