A Tune for Succot

Here's a tune that I put together for Succot. 

Tune: Jardin D'hiver, by Henri Salvador.
Band: Karaoke track found on Youtube, fronted by the singer, me, utilizing Audacity and a webcam microphone.

Words: From the written and oral Torahs.

Chorus: "Rejoice on your holidays and be only joyful."

Stanzas:

​1) [The sinless people rejoicing in the Temple used to sing,} "Fortunate is our youth, for it has not caused us embarrassment in our old age." [And] "Fortunate is the person who never sinned, and fortunate is the person who, after having sinned, was forgiven."

2) [The penitents used to sing,] "Fortunate is our old age, in which we have gained atonement for our youth." [And] "Fortunate is the person who never sinned, and fortunate is the person who, after having sinned, was forgiven."


​Enjoy!

I love the song, but I don't think 'youth' actually means 'youth' as in young age, but more 'youth' as in 'ignorance/not self aware and thus without proper self control'
