What Is a Youth

作词：Nino Rota, Eugene Walter
作曲：Nino Rota, Eugene Walter
编曲：Pessi Levanto

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

少年为何？不灭之火
少女为何？冰冷与欲望
世界继续摆动

一朵玫瑰会盛开
然后凋零
如同少年
如同最令人屏息的少女

会有一个时刻，
一个甜美的笑颜有它短暂的季节
我也将爱上爱情

某些人只望着姻缘，有些择不愿安居
我的防卫是最好的，爱神统治了我们每一个人
戏弄吧！但还是唱歌给我
死亡并不等人
比蜂蜜还甜，比胆汁还苦
爱是永不疲乏的事情
比蜂蜜还甜，比胆汁还苦
爱神统治了我们每一个人
