Bendigamos is a hymn sung after meals according to the custom of Spanish and Portuguese Jews. It is has also been traditionally sung by the Jews of Turkish decent. It is similar in meaning to the Birkat Hamazon that is said by all Jews. Bendigamos is said in addition to Birkat Hamazon, either immediately before or immediately after it. The text is in Spanish (not, as some think, Ladino). The prayer was translated by David de Sola Pool. Below is the actual text as well as the translation by de Sola Pool. The melody is one of the best known and loved Spanish and Portuguese melodies, used also for the Song of Moses (in the Sabbath morning service) and in "Hallel" (on the first day of the month and on festivals).
