Too Young
Cole Nat King And His Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go




And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Overall Meaning

In Cole Nat King And His Trio's song "Too Young," the lyrics beautifully capture the experience of a couple who are deeply in love but are being judged for being too young to feel such strong emotions. The singer acknowledges that people tell them they are "too young to really be in love" and that love is just a word they have heard but do not yet comprehend. Despite this, the singer insists that their love is real and will endure the test of time.


The lyrics go on to explain how even though they may be young, they are not too young to understand that their love will last, even as the years go by. The singer reflects that someday, people may look back and understand that they were not too young to feel what they felt, and that their love was genuine.


The song's message is one that speaks to people of all ages, as we have all experienced situations where others have judged us for our feelings or life choices. The lyrics of "Too Young" remind us that love knows no boundaries, including age, and that true love can be felt at any stage of life.

................NOVOS DEMAIS...................................
As pessoas tentam nos dizer que somos novos demais
Novos demais em estarmos, de verdade, apaixonados
E dizem que o amor é uma palavra
Uma palavra que apenas ouvimos
E no entanto, que não é possível sentir o sentido dela !!!

Mas, porém não somos novos demais em perceber
Que este amor perdurará , embora o tempo possa passar
E assim , algum dia elas poderão se recordar
Que afinal, não éramos tão novos assim !!!!

.......

Mas, porém não somos novos demais em perceber
Que este amor perdurará , embora o tempo possa passar
E assim algum dia elas poderão se ---- recordar
Que afinal, não éramos tão novos .....ASSIM !!!!!!!!
