Yemay haHanukkah hanukkat mikdashaynu Begeel uv'simkha m'maleem et leebaynu Layla vayom s'vivo-naynu yisov Soofganiot, nokhal bam-larov Ha'eeru, hadleeku, nerot hanukkah rabeem. Al hasism, v'al hanifla'ot asher holelu haMaccabeem Al hasism, v'al hanifla'ot asher holelu haMaccabeem Hanukkah oh, Hanukkah, come light the menorah Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora Gather 'round the table, we'll give you a treat Swingin' deidels to play with, and latkes to eat And while we, are groovin', candles are burning so low One, for each night, they shed a sweet light To remind us of days long ago One, for each night, they shed a coo coo light To remind us of days long ago. Mi y'maleil g'vurot Yisrael otan mi yimneh Hen bekhol dor yakoom hagibor goel ha'am Mi y'maleil g'vurot Yisrael otan mi yimneh Hen bekhol dor yakoom hagibor goel ha'am Sh'ma! At this time of year in days of yore Macabbees the Temple did restore. And today our people as we dreamed Will arise, unite, and be redeemed. Who can retell the things that befell us Who can count them? In every age, a hero or sage Came to our aid. Mi y'maleil g'vurot Yisrael otan mi yimneh Hen bekhol dor yakoom hagibor goel ha'am, goel ha'am, goel ha'am. Back to Lyrics |
