Yevarechecha

"Yevarechecha" (; ), also transliterated as "Yevarekhekha", is a Hasidic Jewish nigun composed by David Weinkranz and performed by Ilana Rovina for the album Chasidic Song Festival 1970. The song is considered to be a classic from all of the festival's history.

Lyrics

The lyrics of "Yevarechecha" comes from . Unlike the Masoretic Text of the psalm, the song has the phrase "all days of your life" (כל ימי חייך) as a standalone line, following a repetition of the first line up until "from Zion" (מציון). The new line also repeats "days of" (ימי) consecutively (כל ימי-ימי חייך). The lyrics use the title Hashem (ה׳) in place of the Tetragrammaton, which is commonplace in Orthodox Judaism.

The word "חייך" (chayeykha, "your life") can alternatively be transliterated to chayyeykha, as the first Yod is geminated, however it is not typically pronounced as such in Modern Hebrew.
