THE WINE OF YOUTH
Embracing Life's Fleeting Essence: "The Wine of Youth" by Charles Aznavour
Lyrics
While we still hold the cup in our hands
Enjoying the present moment while we are still young and vibrant
The fleeting treasure of youth, we know
Aware of how quickly youth passes by
We're living life to it's full measure
Living life completely and without reservation
For the fruit of love is growing
Love is flourishing and bearing fruit
When the wine of youth is flowing
Enjoying the energy and vitality of youth
And while we hear life's distant bells still ringing laughter
Despite life's challenges, finding joy and laughter
We're full of hope, we're blessed with joy, we have no care
Feeling hopeful, joyful, and carefree
So let us drink, while life is brimming
Embracing life's abundance
With the wine of youth
Emphasizing the energetic and vibrant essence of youth
Time, so swiftly flies, our summer skies soon slip away
Expressing how time passes swiftly, especially the enjoyable moments
Time, so swiftly wings, each parting wings
Highlighting the swiftness of time's passing, especially during goodbyes
Each chandelles sadness, so timeless
Indicating that sadness transcends time
And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow
Trying to hold onto fleeting moments, but only finding sorrow
Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow
Time passing without regard for the future
We can't hold and sip forever from the wine of youth
Recognizing the impossibility of holding onto youth indefinitely
Before we learn to smile, our smiles are behind us
Realizing that youth passes by before fully appreciating it
Before we learn to live, our life has run away
Life moving quickly before understanding how to truly live it
In a momentary sigh, before we understand
Reflecting on missed opportunities
We watch it all go by
Observing life passing by without fully grasping it
We'll never know that time, time again
Missing out on understanding the value of time
And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow
Reiterating the futile attempt to capture fleeting moments
Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow
Time passing without regard for what's to come
We can't hold and sip forever from the wine of youth
Realizing the impossibility of holding onto youth forever
