Oh wow... this melody (of "El Sueño de la Hija del Rey") is often sung at B'nai Jeshurun in NYC, with the piyut "Shahar Avakeshkha" as the words.
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm
Threemoons:

@Diana I KNEW the tune was familiar! Have heard that variation at Chabad LIC and Lab/Shul services.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:57pm
David Dichelle:

Yes, it is a Sephardic folk song, here in a slightly Ladino Spanish, I believe. This version is about the dream of the daughter of the king of France.
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:58pm
Threemoons:

I once went to a Sephardic music symposium at Cornell a zillion years ago when I was a student there, back when wooly mammoths made their stately migrations across the Finger Lakes Ice Sheets. Anyway, there is a VERY long tradition of cantors adapting local melodies for prayers. One of the performers then showed us footage (and then performed) a prayer that she heard in a Jewish community in India--I forgot which piyut it was but it was sung to the tune of the standard British Navy Hornpipe tune!
Avatar 🚂 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:59pm
Threemoons:

And two of my frequent dining companions at my dorm went to the same shul growing up; they grew up singing one of the Rosh Hashana prayers to the tune of Yellow Submarine!

this singing strikes a chord in me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:07pm
David Dichelle:

I suppose the question is whether the words/lyrics fit the other melody. Similarly, one weird quirk here was that the GDR (East German) anthem was written so that you could sing the West German, now German again, anthem to the melody of the East German anthem.
