The proverb "Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie" is often attributed to the French poet and playwright Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian. However, it is also a widely known French proverb that reflects the fleeting nature of pleasure in love compared to the enduring pain of heartbreak.
It means : "Forget doubt and fear, a moment of love is a moment of life."
I think the song you might be referring to is Plaisir D'Amour. Go to a search field on a computer (like a Google search field or wherever) and type this in exactly like this: "plaisir d'amour lyrics translation" and make sure to put the quote marks around the words. If I'm correct and this is the famous song that you're looking for, the first 2 lines in french are something like this: Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment. Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. And the English translation of those 2 lines is pretty much this: The pleasure of love lasts only for a moment. (Or 'the pleasure of love is only a moment long.) The pain of love lasts all of life (Or 'the pain of love endures all life long.)
Jealously has no set schedule and can arise at any moment.
It sounds a bit weird in French. Literally, "to each instant, its pleasure", assumedly meaning each moment provides its own special instant of pleasure or joy.
The English lyrics of this song start with:The pleasure of love lasts only a momentThe pain of love lasts a lifetime.Which are basically the two verses in the question.This song was composed over 2 centuries ago (1784), from a poem by Jean de Florian.It has been performed by many French and international artists, such as Joan Baez.
We had a great time, Hope to see you again later?
Although it incorporates the prefix pro- ("in favor of"), the word PROVERB does not have a long O sound. It is pronounced "PRAH-vurb".
The proverb "to sit on a volcano" means to be in a very risky or dangerous situation that could erupt or escalate at any moment. This expression conveys the idea of being in a precarious or volatile position that requires caution and a readiness to react quickly.
The phrase "there is no time like the present" is an old English proverb, meaning that the current moment is the best time to act or do something. It is often attributed to Robert H. Smith, an American journalist and educator, who popularized it in the 19th century.
