Originally the poem was written by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1784) and made into song by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1785). In a quiet salon, Amy and Spirit perform a Regency duet that becomes a contemporary emotional conflict, where two voices resist what draws them together. The music shifts across eras, but the fear remains unchanged: that love may offer a moment of joy, yet bind them far beyond it. ✹══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══∘◦🎹◦∘══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══✹ ❁ LYRICS & ARRANGEMENT ❁ ❀ BY PANTHERA ❀ ✹══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══∘◦🎹◦∘══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══✹ ✹══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══∘◦🎹◦∘══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══✹ ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ ✹═∘◦ Intro ◦∘═✹ Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie The joy of love goes in a twinkling The sorrow of love keeps lingering… ✹═∘◦ Verse 1 ◦∘═✹ Silk and curtsies, measured breath Every word rehearsed to death She was taught to stand composed Never let the truth be exposed ∘◦✹◦∘ They decide what she should be Trade her name for dignity But she has plans beyond their view A different life she must pursue ✹═∘◦ Verse 2 ◦∘═✹ She resists like it’s a game Guards her pride, protects her name Yet she walks into his space Like she’s daring him to a chase ∘◦✹◦∘ He’s lived free without restraint No intention to remain Still, she turns and suddenly Every rule feels null to him ✹═∘◦ Pre-Chorus ◦∘═✹ Step too close, withdraw again Every word a careful feint If this ends the way it begins They’ll only have themselves to blame ✹═∘◦ Chorus ◦∘═✹ It’s not love but a brief delusion A heart that strayed in confusion Surrender and you’re lost forever Paying a lifetime for your error ∘◦✹◦∘ Hold the line, don’t let it start Guard the mind, defend the heart One misstep and they will sever Paying a lifetime for a moment’s error ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ ✹═∘◦ Verse 3 ◦∘═✹ He speaks as if he understands What it costs to take that hand She has seen how futures bend When a vow becomes the end ∘◦✹◦∘ She won’t fade into a role Lose intention, lose control Better alone than a cage Dressed in ribbons, tied with names ✹═∘◦ Verse 4 ◦∘═✹ She assumes he’s unaware Of the weight that people bear He has watched it all before Closed hearts behind gilded doors ∘◦✹◦∘ Still, he finds it hard to leave When she stands so close to him Just a word and he would stay— No… that’s not a game he plays ✹═∘◦ Pre-Chorus ◦∘═✹ Every glance a risky line Every pause a hidden sign If they fall, they fall alone No retreat once it is known ✹═∘◦ Chorus ◦∘═✹ It’s not love but a brief delusion A heart that strayed in confusion Surrender and you’re lost forever Paying a lifetime for your error ∘◦✹◦∘ Draw the line, don’t let it start Steel the will, defend the heart One misstep and we will sever Paying a lifetime for a moment’s error ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ “This is not what I intended…” “Then why are you still here?” “Because I–” ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ ✹═∘◦ Bridge ◦∘═✹ “If I stay, I lose myself” “If you go, you lose this chance” “What if both are equally true?” “Then we let the moment choose…” ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ ✹═∘◦ Final Chorus ◦∘═✹ It’s not love but a brief delusion A heart that strayed in confusion Surrender and you’re lost forever Paying a lifetime for your error ∘◦✹◦∘ No retreat, no safe outline Cross the edge or stay confined Every path will end in weather Still, we stand here, drawn together ✹═∘◦ Outro ◦∘═✹ Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un moment… Chagrin d’amour… dure toute la vie… ✹═∘◦🎹◦∘═✹ ✹══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══∘◦🎹◦∘══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══✹ ✹══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══∘◦🎹◦∘══❀∘❁∘❀═∘◦✹◦∘═❀∘❁∘❀══✹ 🎶We are the *StorytellerZ* – the German hub for Suno artists. 🗒️You can find us on Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/storytellerz ❤️We look forward to seeing you!
