What Is a Youth - 王若琳 (Joanna Wang)

词：Nino Rota/Eugene Walter

曲：Nino Rota/Eugene Walter

What is a youth Impetuous fire

What is a maid Ice and desire

The world wags on

A rose will bloom

It then will fade

So does a youth

So does the fairest maid

Comes a time when one sweet smile

Has its season for a while

Then love's in love with me

Some they think only to marry Others will tease and tarry

Mine is the very best parry Cupid he rules us all

Caper the cape but sing me the song

Death will come soon to hush us along

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Love is a pastime that never will pall

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Cupid he rules us all

A rose will bloom

It then will fade

So does a youth

So does the fairest maid
