A pensive melody which reflects the nature of the questions which Kohelet asks. What is our purpose in life?

Ein Kol Chadash Tachat HaShamesh

Mah Shehayah Hu Sheyihyeh,
U'Mah Shena'asah Hu Sheye'aseh

Dor Holech VeDor Ba VeHa'Aretz Le'Olam Omedet

Lo LaKalim HaMerotz VeLo LaGiborim HaMilchamah
VeGam Lo LaChachamim Lechem

Ki Et VaFegah Yikreh Et Kulam

There is nothing new under the sun. That which was is that which shall be, and that which has occurred is that which shall occur. Generations come and generations go, but the land stands forever. The race is not won by the swift, nor the battle by the strong, nor is bread won by the wise. Time and chance happen to all.
