*************** Lyrics ***************
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 its 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
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 youth
So does the fairest maid

  • I need to find this somewhere in JUST the piano version. Gah. I need it. >.<

  • @KimmahKat

    As far as I know Richard Clayderman also played on the piano. You can find it on youtube.

  • I really like this song and want to sing it too. Do you have the soundtrack without the vocal? I've been searching for the karaoke version but I can't find one with the same speed as the original version. Thanks.

  • @meilanfa

    No. I do not have without-vocal version but I tried to remove the vocal using Audacity software. It couldn't remove it completely and only lowered it. I uploaded it

    here: 4shared DOT com/audio/9CVGL_xW/What_is_a_y­outh.html

    check it out. Anyway I'm not so familiar with that software. Maybe you can completely remove the vocal by Audacity or other vocal remover softwares.

  • I like it ..... thanks for sharing ^^

  • @rgo338
