Mood for Youth is French, which means "years in the water" refers to the beautiful flowers blooming on the petals fished out of the water. It is a metaphor for the passage of time. Youth is fleeting. Life is like the petals fished out of the water gradually withering. The following is an English poem describing this beautiful flower and the fleeting feeling of youth: In the water in the water The flowers bloom they bloom and then they do not In the water in the water The memories are lost they are lost they are gone In the water in the water The years go by they go by they go by quickly In the water in the water The laughter and the tears they all remain In the water in the water The flowers remain they remain they remain strong In the water in the water The memories remain they remain they remain deep
