Plaisir damour ne dure quun moment
Chagrin damour dure toute la vie
Jai tout quittee pour lingrate silvie
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amans
Plaisir damour 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 taimerai", me repetait silvie
Leau coule encor, elle a change pourtant
Plaisir damour ne dure qu un moment
Chagrin damour dure toute la vie
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
I very left for ungrateful silvie,
It leaves and takes another amans to me.
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
"as long as this water will run gently
Towards this brook which borders the meadow,
I will love you", repeated me silvie.
Water runs encor, it changed however.
Pleasure of love lasts only one moment,
Unhappy love affair lasts all the life.
