1. Der Asra  [sung text not yet checked]
by Anton Eberhardt (1855 - 1922), "Der Asra", op. 16 (Drei Lieder) no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Täglich ging die wunderschöne 
Sultanstochter auf und nieder 
Um die Abendzeit am Springbrunn,
Wo die weißen Wasser plätschern.

  Täglich stand der junge Sklave
Um die Abendzeit am Springbrunn.
Wo die weißen Wasser plätschern;
Täglich ward er bleich und bleicher.

  Eines Abends trat die Fürstin 
Auf ihn zu mit raschen Worten:
"Deinen Namen will ich wissen, 
Deine Heimat, deine Sippschaft!"

  Und der Sklave sprach: "Ich heiße
[Mohamed]1, [ich]2 bin aus Yemen,
Und mein Stamm sind jene Asra,
Welche sterben, wenn sie lieben."

1. Asra
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ogni giorno la bellissima 
figlia del Sultano andava 
su e giù all'ora del tramonto alla fonte
dove le chiare acque mormoravano.

Ogni giorno il giovane schiavo stava
all'ora del tramonto alla fonte
dove le chiare acque mormoravano,
ogni giorno diventava sempre più pallido.

Una sera si rivolse a lui
la principessa con rapide parole:
"Il tuo nome voglio sapere,
la tua patria, la tua stirpe."

E lo schiavo rispose:
"Mi chiamo Maometto e vengo dallo Yemen,
e la mia stirpe sono quegli Asra
che muoiono d'amore".

2. Der Doppelgänger  [sung text not yet checked]
by Anton Eberhardt (1855 - 1922), "Der Doppelgänger", op. 16 (Drei Lieder) no. 2
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Still ist die Nacht, es [ruhen]1 die Gassen,
In [diesem]2 Hause wohnte mein Schatz;
Sie hat schon [längst]3 die Stadt verlassen,
Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.

Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Höhe,
Und ringt die Hände, vor Schmerzensgewalt;
Mir [graust]4 es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe, -
Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.

Du [Doppeltgänger]5! du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
Das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle,
So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?

2. Il sosia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Tace la notte, riposano le strade,
in questa casa abitava il mio tesoro;
ha lasciato da molto la città,
ma la casa è sempre nello stesso posto.

C'è anche una persona, e guarda fisso in alto,
e si torce le mani per la forza del dolore,
inorridisco vedendo il suo volto
- la luna mi mostra la mia stessa figura.

Tu sosia, tu pallido amico!
Perché scimmiotti la mia pena d'amore,
che mi ha afflitto in questo posto
per tante notti, nel tempo passato?

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas! eine Welt,
Die ganze Welt der Schmerzen muß ich tragen,
Ich trage Unerträgliches, und brechen

Du wolltest glücklich seyn, unendlich glücklich
Oder unendlich elend, stolzes Herz,
Und jetzo bist du elend.

3. Atlante
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Io, infelice Atlante! Un mondo,
tutto il mondo del dolore devo sopportare.
Io sopporto l'insopportabile,
e mi si spezza il cuore nel petto.

Tu, cuore superbo, tu lo hai voluto!
Tu volevi essere felice, infinitamente felice,
o infinitamente sventurato,
ed ecco, ora sei sventurato.
