"Yevarechecha" (Hebrew: יְבָרֶכְךָ, romanized: Yəḇāreḵəḵā; lit. 'You Will be Blessed' or 'You Shall be Blessed'), 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.[1] The song is considered to be a classic from all of the festival's history.[5]

Lyrics

The lyrics of "Yevarechecha" comes from Psalms 128:5–6.[4] 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).[6] The new line also repeats "days of" (ימי) consecutively (כל ימי-ימי חייך).[6] The lyrics use the title Hashem (ה׳) in place of the Tetragrammaton,[6][4] which is commonplace in Orthodox Judaism.

Transliteration Hebrew text English translation (literal)
Yevarekhekha Hashem miTzion
יְבָרֶכְךָ ה׳ מִצִּיּוֹן
   Hashem will bless you from Zion
Ur'eh betuv Yerushalayim
וּרְאֵה בְּטוּב יְרוּשָׁלַיִם
   And see Jerusalem with goodness
Yevarekhekha Hashem miTzion
יְבָרֶכְךָ ה׳ מִצִּיּוֹן
   Hashem will bless you from Zion
Kol yemey-yemey chayeykha
כָּל יְמֵי-יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ
   All days of [days of] your life
       
Ur'eh vanim levaneykha
וּרְאֵה בָנִים לְבָנֶיךָ
   And see children to your children
Shalom al-Yisra'el
שָׁלוֹם עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל
   Peace unto Israel
  (repeat last two lines three times)    
  (entire song repeated twice)    

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.
