The Ballad About Lucia Manco of Lucca

In the heart of the Tuscany under Italy's sun Lies the town of Lucca, which is known to some As Giacomo Puccini's birthplace, and the truth to be told, He's Italian composer, one of the best in the world. In the times of Medieval - far back in the past Thrived the banking in Lucca and the art of silk craft ... .... The legend has that at those times and in this very city Lucia Manco lived so gorgeous, vane and pretty. Though cunning Satan made her splendid stunning beauty last On the condition that she must her lovers souls to Devil pass. ... For quite a while this deal worked really well - Men souls were going from her bed straight to the Hell. For quite long time she never fell in love, we trust - Her drive was simply egotistic vanity and crave for lust. But even magic comes to undeterred sudden end - She met young man, to whom she loving heart of hers has lent. She would not dare to corrupt his holesom soul, And lost her beauty just at once forever and for all. He lost his love to her at instance when she lost her femine charms . But to the worst, the Devil told him that he held his mother in his arms!
