Nana Mouskouri – Plaisir d’amour

Lyrics

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.
(or Tu m’as quitté pour la belle Sylvie.)
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant.
(or Elle te quitte pour 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 encore. Elle a changé pourtant.

Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment.
chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie.

Lyrics in English

The pleasure of love

The pleasure of love lasts only a moment
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.

I gave up everything for ungrateful Sylvia,
(or You gave me up for the beautiful Sylvia,)
She is leaving me for another lover.
(or She is leaving you 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.

Prevod na srpski

Čari ljubavi

Čari ljubavi nestanu za čas
Bol u srcu čitav život ostaje uz nas

Svega sam se odrekao zbog nezahvalne Silvije, 
(Mene si se odrekao zbog lepe Silvije,)
Zbog drugoga ona ostavlja me.
(Zbog drugoga ona ostavlja te.)

Čari ljubavi nestanu za čas
Bol u srcu čitav život ostaje uz nas

“Sve dok ova voda nežno teče
ka tom potoku što livadu dotiče,

Ja voleću te”, Silvija mi je stalno govorila.
Ta voda i dalje teče, ali ona se promenila.

Čari ljubavi nestanu za čas
Bol u srcu čitav život ostaje uz nas
