Palma young

Inspired by the "Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne", the most famous of the Carnival Songs composed by the lord of Florence Lorenzo de'Medici.

Quant’è bella giovinezza,
che si fugge tuttavia!
chi vuol esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c’è certezza.

(...)

"How beautiful is youth,

though quickly it does flee!

be happy if you want to:

Tomorrow has no certainty.
