What Is A Youth By Eugene Walter What is a youth? Impetuous fire 少年为何？熊熊的火焰，
What is a maid? Ice and desire 少女为何？冰雪与欲望，
The world wags on 随着世事推移
A rose will bloom, it then will fade 蔷薇会绽放，随即又凋零，
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid 少年如此，最美的少女亦如此。
Comes a time when one's sweet smile 那时笑靥甜蜜，
Has its season for a while 那是爱的季节
Then love's in love with me 爱意在我心间荡漾
Some may think only to marry 有人想白头到老
Others will tease and tarry 有人逢场作戏又踟蹰不定
Mine is the very best parry： 我的藉口最是高超：
Cupid he rules us all 爱神支配众生。
Caper 1 the caper, sing me the song 雀跃吧，嬉戏吧，为我高唱一歌
Death will come soon to hush 2 us along 死神将很快到来让我们陷入缄默，
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall 3 甜比蜂蜜如胆苦，
Love is a past time and never will pall 4 爱情虽已消逝，却回味无穷，
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall 甜比蜂蜜如胆苦，
Cupid he rules us all 爱神支配众生。
A rose will bloom, it then will fade 玫瑰会盛开，随即又凋零，
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid 少年如此，最美的少女亦如此。
