Песня из фильма "Ромео и Джульетта" Франко Дзеффирелли. Замечательная песня, впрочем, как и фильм :)

What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on.
А 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 may think only to marry,
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry.
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the caper, sing me the song.
Death will come soon to hush us along.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it 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 yuth
So does the fairest maid
