Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas! eine Welt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas! eine Welt,
Die ganze Welt der Schmerzen muß ich tragen,
Ich trage Unerträgliches, und brechen
Will mir das Herz im Leibe.
Du stolzes Herz! du hast es ja gewollt,
Du wolltest glücklich seyn, unendlich glücklich
Oder unendlich elend, stolzes Herz,
Und jetzo bist du elend.

Je suis l'infortuné Atlas! un monde
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Je suis l'infortuné Atlas! un monde,
Je dois porter un monde entier des souffrances,
Je porte l'insupportable,
Et en moi mon coeur se brise.
Toi, coeur orgueilleux, tu l'as bien voulu!
Tu voulais être heureux, éternellement heureux,
Ou bien éternellement misérable, coeur orgueilleux,
Et bien maintenant tu es misérable.
