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. 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.
