MARIA CALLAS-VISSI D'ARTE-TOSCA-ENGLISH SUBTITLES+LYRICS+TRANSLATION

Maria Callas-Vissi d´arte- Tosca, second Act part 6-with Tito Gobbi-LYRICS:
Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore,
non feci mai male ad anima viva!
Con man furtiva
quante miserie conobbi aiutai.
Sempre con fè sincera
la mia preghiera
ai santi tabernacoli salì.
Sempre con fè sincera
diedi fiori agl'altar.
Nell'ora del dolore
perchè, perchè, Signore,
perchè me ne rimuneri così?
Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto,
e diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel,
che ne ridean più belli.
Nell'ora del dolor
perchè, perchè, Signor,
ah, perchè me ne rimuneri così?

I lived for my art, I lived for love,
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?

@Loumademe

yes it is, but you'll have to look on ebay because it's sold out.

Although I'm not a big admirer of Callas this is the definitive interpretation of 'VISSI D'ARTE' for me. Thank You for posting it.

Is this performance of the opera available on dvd?

[louiseduvee]

I'd subscribe, but You Tube won't let me. Every time I try, I get this message (and I quote): 'You have too many subscriptions compared to your number of subscribers'. I contacted them and asked if they were aware that I kept up with those subscriptions. They changed the subject, replying, 'To add a new subscription, you'll have to drop some old ones.' WTF? I'm literally dying from AS and music is my life! Anal-retentive Nazi sadists... I can't add new favourites either!
