You know you're in a Moroccan synagogue, when they sing this for VeHaofanim. The tune comes from the piyut Yehida Raya, which is normally sung during a celebration for a girl's lifecycle event; baby naming and/or wedding.
The last line of VeHaofanim, the custom is to change the tune to that of "Lichvod Tora" hence we sing this Vehaofanim at almost every simha in the synagogue.
This song is the Hebrew version of the famous Arabic song "Omri Na" composed by the late Sami El Maghrebi. The words are beautiful and the maqam is Nahawand (similar to Sahli). The tune can be sung for Kadish or Kedusha.
