"Plaisir d'Amour" ("The Pleasure of Love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816).
It took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.
The song was greatly successful in Martini's version. For example, a young woman, Madame Julie Charles, sang it to the poet Alphonse de Lamartine during his cure at Aix-les-Bains in 1816, and the poet was to recall it 30 years later.
        French  🇫🇷  Lyrics              English  🇬🇧 Lyrics 🇺🇸
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment. The pleasure of love lasts only a moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
   
J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie. I gave up everything for ungrateful Sylvia,
(or Tu m'as quitté pour la belle Sylvie.) (or You gave me up for the beautiful Sylvia,)
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant. She is leaving me for another lover.
(or Elle te quitte pour un autre amant.) (or She is leaving you for another lover.)
   
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment. The pleasure of love lasts only a moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
"Tant que cette eau coulera doucement As long as this water will run gently
vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie, towards this brook which borders the meadow,
   
Je t'aimerai", me répétait Sylvie. I will love you", Sylvia told me repeatedly.
L'eau coule encore. Elle a changé pourtant. The water still runs, but she has changed.
Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment. The pleasure of love lasts only a moment,
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. The grief of love lasts a lifetime.

Notable appearances in films include Irene Dunne in Love Affair; Montgomery Clift played the music on the piano and sang the song as well in The Heiress; the song's music is featured in the opening of the 1955 movie We're No Angels; Joely Richardson, as Marie Antoinette, sings it in the 2001 film The Affair of the Necklace; "Plaisir d'amour" is sung by an all-female choir in "The Breaking Point", an episode of HBO's 2001 World War II television miniseries Band of Brothers; the 1987 movie La Famiglia by Ettore Scola; the tune is heard repeatedly in the 1977 film March or Die
The melody was used for several songs with new lyrics, including "Can't Help Falling in Love", with Elvis Presley.

Hermann Hesse's short story "Chagrin d'Amour" (1908) narrates a fictional origin for this song at a medieval tournament. Hesse has it composed by an obscure troubadour named Marcel, who sings this song to a queen named Herzeloyde to express his hopeless and unrequited love for her. Hesse took the names of the characters from Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival.

At the start of Robert Anderson's play Tea and Sympathy, the main character, Tom Lee, is singing this "plaintive" song referred to as "The Joys of Love".
