What is a youth

作詞：Eugene Ferdinand Walter, Jr.

編譯：Catherine Wu
What is a youth? Impetuous fire
青春是什麼？ 激烈魯莽的熱火
What is a maid? Ice and desire
少女是什麼？ 冰霜與欲望的結合
The world wags on
紅塵輾轉徘徊
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
玫瑰一朝花開，一朝花落
So does a youth
青春亦復如是
So does the fairest maid
最美麗的少女也難逃一歿
Comes a time when one sweet smile
當那時，紅顏甜笑
Had its season for a while
韶華時光卻甚短暫
Then love's in love with me
而我陷進了愛情深淵
Some may think only to marry
有人或許一心互許終身
Others will tease and tarry
有人僅止於挑逗且遲疑
Mine is the very best parry
我則最善於躲避
Cupid he rules us all
卻終究躲不過丘比特之箭
Caper the caper, sing me the song
請為我高歌一曲，盡情歡躍
Death will come soon to hush us along
死亡將速臨，叫我們都閉嘴
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
比蜜甜，苦似膽
Love is a past time that never will pall
愛是過往好時光，永不平淡走味
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
比蜜甜，苦似膽
Cupid he rules us all
我們終究躲不過那丘比特之箭（丘比特支配我們所有一切）
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
玫瑰一朝花開，一朝花落
So does a youth
青春亦復如是
So does the fairest maid
最美麗的少女也難逃一歿
