Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi was known for his beautiful poetry and Yedidi HaShachahta takes the cake. This song is sung by Sepharadim around the world, no matter the background. I will argue that its tune became famous after Jo Amar z''l put it on a track. It became an instant hit in Israel.
The song has a beautiful Spanish twist to it and like many other Spanish melodies, the makam Bayat or Sika (spaniol).
