ATT Kesser Torah/Chicago Pirchei Boys Choir - Kol B'Ramah (1990)

Me at twelve singing Chicago City Hall with the ATT Boys Choir led by Peretz Dissen. I always loved the sadness in this song.
Lyrics are from Jeremiah 31:14-16:
.קול ברמה נשמע נהי בכי תמרורים--רחל מבכה על בניה; מאנה להנחם על בניה, כי איננו
כה אמר יהוה, מנעי קולך מבכי, ועיניך מדמעה: כי ישׁ שכר לפעלתךְ נאם יהוה, ושבו מארץ אויב 
וישׁתקוה לאחריתך נאם יהוה; ושבו בנים לגבולם
A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come back from the land of the enemy. And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border.
