Original lyrics
1. Chanuke, O Chanuke, a yontev a sheyner, A lustiger a freylicher, nito noch azoyner! Ale nach in dredl shpiln mir, Zudig-heyse latkes esn mir. Refrain. Geshvinder, tsindt kinder, Di dininke lichtelech on. Zogt, 'Al-hanisim," loybt Got far di nisim, Un kumt gicher tanstsn in kon! 2. Yehuda hot fartribn dem soyne, dem rotseyach, Un hot i Beys-hamikdesh gezungen "Lamntseyach", Di shtot Yerushalayim hot vider oyfgelebt, Un tsu a nayem lebn hot yederer geshtrebt. Refrain: Deriber, dem giber, Yehuda Makabi loybt hoych! Zol yeder bazunder, bazingen di vunder, Un libn dos folk zolt ir oych!
Translated lyrics
Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, a wonderful holiday, a happy, a joyful, a unique holiday! All night at dreydl do we play, fresh hot latkes do we eat. Hurry, come children, the Hanukkah candles to light. Let each in turn sing of the miracle and dance merrily in a circle.
