”Plaisir d’amour” de Jean-Pierre Clairs de Florian

Lecture: Dana Andreea Nigrim

 

Translated text:

 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.
