Plaisir d'amour [English translation]

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.
