Plaisir d’Amour
Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment
Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie
Tu m’as quittée pour la belle Sylvie
Elle te quitte pour un autre amant
Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment
Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie
Tant que cette eau coulera doucement
Vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie
Je t’aimerai, te répétait Sylvie
L’eau coule encore, elle a changé pourtant.
Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment
Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie.
The Pleasure of Love
The pleasure of love lasts only for a moment,
The pain of love lasts a lifetime.
You’ve left me for the beautiful Sylvia,
And she’s leaving you for another lover.
The pleasure of love lasts only for a moment,
The pain of love lasts a lifetime.
“As long as this water will run gently
Towards this brook which borders the meadow,
I will love you”, Sylvia told you repeatedly.
The water still runs, but she has changed.
The pleasure of love lasts only for a moment,
The pain of love lasts a lifetime.
I also like Joan Baez’ version… 🙂

I do as well.
Nana Mouskouri and Joan Baez perform well together
