Ettore Bastianini - Plaisir d'amour (Martini) - STUDIO recording - rare

Yoichi Miura, Piano
Tokyo, June 23rd 1965
Details from a painting by Fragonard (The swing)
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
Ive given up everything for the ungrateful Sylvia.
She is leaving me and taking another lover.
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
As long as that water flows gently
Towards that brook at the edge of the meadow,
Ill love you, Sylvia repeated to me.
The water still flows. She has changed though.
The joys of love last but a moment.
The grief of love lasts a lifetime.
