The film's "[[Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet]]" was widely disseminated, notably in "[[Our Tune]]", a segment of [[Simon Bates]]'s radio show. In addition, various versions of the theme have been recorded and released, including a highly successful one by [[Henry Mancini]], whose instrumental rendition was a success in the United States during June 1969.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bronson|first=Fred|title=Billboard's Book Of #1 Hits|edition=3rd|year=1992|publisher=[[Billboard charts|Billboard Publications]], Inc.|location=New York, New York|isbn=0-8230-8298-9|pages=[https://archive.org/details/billboardbookofn0000bron/page/255 255]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/billboardbookofn0000bron/page/255}}</ref>

There are two different sets of English lyrics to the song.
* The film's version is called "What Is a Youth?", featuring lyrics by [[Eugene Walter]], and sung by Glen Weston. This version has been released on the complete score/soundtrack release.
* An alternate version, called "A Time for Us", features lyrics by [[Larry Kusik]] and [[Eddie Snyder]]. This version has been recorded by [[Johnny Mathis]], [[Andy Williams]] and [[Shirley Bassey]] for her 1968 album ''[[This Is My Life (Shirley Bassey album)|This Is My Life]]''. [[Josh Groban]] performed "Un Giorno Per Noi", an Italian version of "A Time for Us". [[Jonathan Antoine]], a classically trained tenor from Great Britain, performed "Un Giorno Per Noi" as one of the tracks on his album "Believe", released in August 2016.

A third version called "Ai Giochi Addio", featuring lyrics by [[Elsa Morante]] and sung in the Italian version by Bruno Filippini, who plays the minstrel in the film, has been performed by opera singers such as [[Luciano Pavarotti]] and [[Natasha Marsh]].
