Plaisir d'amour [English translation]

The pleasure of love doesn't last but a moment

the pain of love lasts for a lifetime

I gave up everything

for the ungrateful Sylvie

she gave me up and found another lover

The pleasure of love doesn't last but a moment

the pain of love lasts for a lifetime

"As long as this water's flowing gently

in this brook bordering the meadow,

I will love you" Sylvie was repeating to me.

The water's still flowing,

she has changed though.

The pleasure of love doesn't last but a moment

the pain of love lasts for a lifetime
