What Is A Youth? (From "Romeo And Juliet") - Norma Winstone/Glauco Venier/Klaus Gesing/Helge Andreas Norbakken/Mario Brunello

Lyrics by：Eugene Walter

Composed by：Nino Rota

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 it's season for awhile

Then love's in love with me

Some may think only to marry

Others will tease and tarry

Mine is the very best parry

Cupid he rules us all

What is a youth

Impetuous fire

What is a maid

Ice and desire

Rose will bloom it then will fade

So does a youth

So does the fairest maid
