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'
