Joan Baez version
Playsir d'amour
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'on moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
The joys of love are but a moment long
The pain of love endures the whole life long
Your eyes kissed mine, I saw the love in them shine
You brought me heaven right there when your eyes kissed mine
My love loves me, a world of wonder I see
A rainbow shines thru my window; my love loves me
And now he's gone like a dream that fades in the dawn
But the words stay locked in my heartstrings; my love loves me
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'on moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie

Original French
Plaisir d’amour
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.
J'ai tout quitté
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 répétait Sylvie.
L'eau coule encor,
elle a changé pourtant.
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.
English
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.
Italian
Gioia d’amore
La gioia dell'amore non dura che un momento,
La pena d'amore dura tutta la vita.
Ho lasciato tutto per l'ingrata Silvia,
E lei mi lascia e prende un altro amante.
La gioia dell'amore non dura che un momento,
La pena d'amore dura tutta la vita.
"Finché quest'acqua scorrerà dolcemente
Verso quel ruscello che costeggia il prato
Io ti amerò", mi ripeteva Silvia.
L'acqua scorre ancora. Lei è cambiata purtroppo.
La gioia dell'amore non dura che un momento,
La pena d'amore dura tutta la vita.
