THE VILLAGE OF TODRA
Here in the village of Todra
in the heart of the Atlas mountains
They would take the child
that reached the age of five
They would put a crown of flowers on his head
in our village of Todra
A crown would be put on his head
when he reached the age of five.
All the children in the street
would put on a party for him
When he turned five
in our village of Todra
Then the "groom of the celebration"
(who turned five
in our village of Todra)
would be taken to the synagogue
The alphabet would be written
on a wooden board in honey
from A to Z (aleph to taf)
All the honeyed letters would call to him:
"lick us, friend"
So the torah in his mouth would be as sweet
as the taste of honey
In our village Todra that is in the Atlas mountains.
