Love Theme from "Phaedra"

歌詞

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 a fairest maid; Comes a time when one sweet smile, Has its season for awhile; Then loves in love with me; Some may think only to marry, Other 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 as bitter as gall, Love is the pasttime that will never pall, Sweeter than honey as bitter as gall; Cupid he rules us all. Repeat: A rose will bloom; it then will fade So does a youth; so does the fairest maid.
