what is a youth?
for Shakespeare class, we read several plays including Romeo and Juliet and my lecturer told us that the 1968 Franco Zeffireli's movie version is probably the closest adaptation of the play. so we watched it and this familiar tune came out...
"oh i hear this a lot in Malay dramas hehe" was my reaction haha now i know where it came from. this song is composed by Nino Rota and has several versions. from the movie it's called "What is a Youth"
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.
