Plaisir d'amour

"Plaisir d'amour" - классическая французская песня любви,  написанная в 1784 году  Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816).
Слова этой песни он взял из поэмы Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), приведённой в его новелле "Целестина".






The pleasure of love lasts only a moment
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.

I gave up everything for ungrateful Sylvia,
She is leaving me for another lover.

The pleasure of love lasts only a moment,
The grief 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 me repeatedly.
The water still runs, but she has changed.

The pleasure of love lasts only a moment,
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
