The pleasure of love

The pleasure of love only lasts one moment;

The regret of love lasts one's whole life.

I left everything for the ungrateful Sylvie;

She leaves me and takes another lover.

The pleasure of love only lasts one moment;

The regret of love lasts one's whole life.

As long as this water flows softly

Toward this brook that borders the plain

I will love you, repeated Sylvie to me.

The water still flows, she has changed however.

The pleasure of love only lasts one moment;

The regret of love lasts one's whole life.
