Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
- Tommy

The joy of love, it only lasts one day
The pain of parting can last for eternity
- both

For as long as the river runs to the sea
I'll still remember you being here with me
- Vicki

Plaisir d'amour
The love you gave to me
But now you've gone I'm alone for eternity

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie

For as long as the river runs to the sea
I'll still remember you being here with me

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie
- Vicki

But now you've gone I'm alone for eternity
Music: Trad. / Arr. Tom Parker, Annemie Vanmeenen
Lyrics: Tom Parker, Annemie Vanmeenen
From: Vicki Brown (1987)
and: The Collection (1993).
Source of the lyrics: written down by me.
This song sounds very sentimental, a little too sentimental for my liking.
Charlotte Church sings on her second album a
Plaisir d'amour all in French, and I prefer
to hear that version. Follow the latter link for some notes on the
lyrics and translation.
Various versions
As the difference between the Charlotte Church and Vicki Brown lyrics show,
there are several versions of Plaisir d'amour around, as happens
often with folk songs. See my page
The joys of love / Plaisir d'amour
for some notes and a fully English version.
