Romeo & Juliet What is a Youth? (1968)

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 seasons 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 pass-time that 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 am not suprised. Young people are different today. If a man sings a love song, they would consider him as a fag. Today's man is who can sing about sex, having many babies and drive a pick up track. I feel I live in a junky world. O glorious Shakespeare.

Romeo himself, Leonard Whiting, is a singer as well. He sang "The Raven" for the Alan Parsons Project in 1975. If only Shakespeare could've seen that, huh?

@rachelportman2 LOLOL so true....today's people suck ass and they do not know the meaning of elegance and beauty. This song is beautiful

This song is tragic:  " A rose will bloom, it then will will fade, so does a youth..."

Majestic Shakespeare!!!!!!!

@rachelportman2 its only like that in america, guys would be considered fags for that, and a good majority of the girls are bitchy, slutty and ignorant so its almost impossible for romeo and juliet to exist here. Im half spanish and go to spain every summer, and man are things different in europe, people are much more classier and romantic.

NPFH70 gracias por subir éste video, es uno de los más recientes que e visto.Julie..es decir..Olivia tiene hermosos ojos. también soy de los que piensan que ellos debieron ser pareja en la vida real.Tanto amor en el film y en la vida real ese amor no se alcanzó a lograr.Olivia debió aceptar el amor que se dice le tenia Leonard.
