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
perché, perché, Signore,
perché 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
perché, perché, Signor,
ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?

I know I can change all the the things I'm done with
In a way which suits me which will add something
I won't be throwing out the things I feel
Away with the trash just to fit the deal
No all I really want is to feel the ground
Hold my feet down and stand proud

If only
We could move in time
Feel our eyes collide
Green and brown and blue

Tell me how to choose

I know I can do without the things that blow
In a way that fits me from head to toe
But it takes time and I'm struggling to find

A way from convention without being unkind
I know I can use all the feelings in my brain to suit your needs
But your bordering insane

I can see things clearly now I'm finally sure
Nobody can cover up the opening doors
That end this chapter and spit us out
Nothing more to say nothing more to shout

If only
We could move in time
Feel our eyes collide
Green and brown and blue

Tell me how to choose
We have travelled far
Seen our morning stars
Green and brown and blue
Tell me how to choose
