Johann Paul Martini / Jean Pierre Claris de Florian Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. J'ai tout quitt 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 r L'eau coule encor, elle a chang Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. The Pleasure Of Love Love's pleasure lasts but a moment Love's sorrow lasts all throughout life. I would have left everything for faithless Sylvia, But she left me and took another lover. Love's pleasure lasts but a moment Love's sorrow lasts all throughout life. "As long as the water flows gently To the stream that borders the meadow, I will love you", repeated Sylvia to me. The water still flows, but she has changed. Love's pleasure lasts but a moment Love's sorrow lasts all throughout life.
