Lyrics:

"Plaisir d'Amour"

from LOVE AFFAIR (1939)

music by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian, lyrics by Jean-Paul Schwarzendorf (aka "Martini") and Ange-Etienne-Xavier Poisson de La Chabeaussière (1795)

  J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie.
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant.

Chorus:

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 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.
