Blessing Song

A song of blessing for many occasions especially for the bridegroom for an infant boy before brit milah (circumcision) and for the pidyon ha-ben (ritual for redeeming a first-born son). Variants are found in nineteen different notebooks indicating the song's popularity and making is difficult to decipher its meaning. The text refers specifically to childbrith and it echoes a number of the morning blessing in the Hebrew liturgy.
