Ted Boucher Origins: Plaisir d'Amour (80* d) Lyr Add: PLAISIR D'AMOUR 30 Aug 99


Here are some other, most likely better, lyrics. The music was by Giovanni Martini, an Italian Composer, who lived from 1741-1816. The lyrics were written by the most prolific poet of all, Anonymous. I believe the verse was originally Italian--


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 eaucoulera 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
E Ne dure qu'un moment:
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.
