Wedding Dance - Sephardic version

The voice of those who rejoice

Kol Sison -

voice of happiness

V'Kol Kallah -

and voice of the bride

Kol MitzHalot (MitzHalos) Katinim (Kasinim) Talata Arba -

M'KhoPhotom (M'KhooPhosom) -
voice of shouts of joy of the bridegrooms from the Khupot (Wedding canopies)

It's a great mitzvah to be happy
