What is a youth? Impetuous fire.　

What is a maid? Ice and desire,

青春是甚麼？是烈火！少女是甚麼？冰霜加欲望！

The world wags on. 世界如常。

A rose will bloom, It then will fade.

玫瑰盛開後凋萎！

So does a youth, So does the fairest maid.

青春也是，少女亦如此。
Comes a time when one sweet smile,

那時臉上是甜美的微笑，

Has its season for a while...那是愛的季節！

Then loves in love with me. 愛充滿我心的依戀。

Some they think only to marry,

Others will tease and tarry.　

有人想結婚，有人不屑且猶豫；

Mine is the very best parry, Cupid he rules us all.　

我的檔次最高超，邱比特牽著我們走！

Caper the cape, but sing me the song,　

儘管嬉戲胡鬧，但為我唱一首歌！

Death will come soon to hush us along.　

死神不久來臨，叫我們都閉嘴！

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,

比蜜還甜，比膽還苦；

Cupid he rules us all. 邱比特牽著我們走。
