The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Plaisir d'amour" by Ettore Bastianini.

Lyrics

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.

J'ai tout quitté
pour l'ingrate Sylvie.
Elle me quitte et prend 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," me repetait Sylvie.
L'eau coule encore,
elle a changé pourtant.

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.

Lyrics translation

Love pleasure lasts only a moment, love sorrow lasts a lifetime.

I left everything for the ungrateful Sylvie.
She leaves me and takes another lover.

Love pleasure lasts only a moment, love sorrow lasts a lifetime.

"As long as that water flows gently into that stream that borders the meadow, I will love you," Sylvie repeated to me.
The water is still flowing, it has changed yet.

Love pleasure lasts only a moment, love sorrow lasts a lifetime.
