Translation:To Youth

Youth is spring! The soul, full of flowers, shines, Believes in good, loves life, dreams and waits And easily forgets misfortune.

It's the age of strength and beauty: Looks at the future and still has no past; And, facing Nature upfront, Does not fear daring work.

Loves awakening, loathing sleep; Has projects of glory, loves Chimera; And still doesn't give fruit as autumn, For it only gives flowers as spring!
