Romeo and Juliet 殉情記 (1968) - What is a Youth / A Time For Us / 文熙俊

1968年

What is a Youth 青春何似

　Music: Nino Rota / Lyrics: Eugene Walter / Vocal: Glen Weston

What is a youth? Impetuous fire.　青春是什麼？激烈燃燒的火
What is a maid? Ice and desire, The world wags on.　少女是什麼？冰霜和欲望的結合，年華如此遷移下去
A rose will bloom, It then will fade.　玫瑰會盛開，然後會凋萎
So does a youth, So does the fairest maid.　青春也是，最美的少女亦復如此

Comes a time when one sweet smile,　在那時，臉上是甜美的微笑
Has its season for a while...　那就是愛的季節
Then love's in love with me.　我心裡充滿了依戀

Some they think only to marry, Others will tease and tarry.　有人只想到結婚，有的人不屑且猶豫
Mine is the very best parry, Cupid he rules us all.　我的藉口最是高超：邱比特牽著我們的鼻子走

Caper the cape, but sing me the song,　儘管嬉戲去吧，並為我唱一首歌
Death will come soon to hush us along.　死神不久將來臨，叫我們都閉住嘴

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,　比蜜還甜，比膽還苦
Love is a task and it never will pall.　愛雖磨人，卻永不走味
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, Cupid he rules us all.

A Time for Us 我倆的時光

　由於 <What is a Youth> 實在太動聽了，後來將其旋律填上新歌詞，寫成 <A Time for Us>，1969年交由當時最紅的歌星 安迪威廉斯 Andy Williams 演唱

　Lyrics: Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder

A time for us, someday there'll be　總有一天，會有屬於我倆的時光
When chains are tron by courage　當鎖鏈被勇氣穿破
Born of a love that's free　從中而生的愛情必然是自由
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish　夢想被否定的時光終將大放異彩
As we unveil the love we now must hide　當我們不想遮掩愛情的時候，現在卻被迫隱藏

A time for us, at last to see　我倆的時光，終於得見
A life worth while for you and me　人生中一段值得我倆珍惜的時光
And with our love through tears and thorns we will endure　用愛穿越淚水與荊棘
As we pass surely through every storm　我們定能熬過每場暴風雨

A time for us, someday there'll be　總有一天，會有一段屬於我倆的時光
A new world, a world of shining hope for you and me　一個嶄新的世界，為你我閃耀著希望的世界
