1. Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas  [sung text not yet checked]
by Richard Burmeister (1860 - 1944), "Ich unglücksel'ger Atlas", op. 12 (Drei Lieder) no. 2
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.

1.
Language: French (Français) 
Moi l'infortuné Atlas ! Moi l'infortuné Atlas !
Le monde, le monde entier des peines - je le dois porter. 1
Je porte l'insupportable,
Et en moi mon cœur voudrait se briser.

Ô cœur trop fier, tu l'auras bien voulu !
Tu voulus être heureux -- heureux sans partage ;
Ou pour jamais malheureux -- cœur trop fier --
A présent tu es malheureux.
