Translated lyrics
DONA DONA (IN DEM TEMPL) In the temple, they seek oil Oil pure enough to light the lights Then they find some, just a little, That burns and burns eight nights. Khaneke is a festival, a festival of a miracle Come and eat some latkes, sing and don't forget Dona dona dona dona dona dona dona don (2) Playing dreydl is a custom Children play it every night, Good for giml, hey is just half, Nun doesnt go, shin is really bad. Khaneke is a festival, a festival of a miracle Come and eat some latkes, sing and dont forget Dona dona dona dona dona dona dona don (2) We eat latkes with great pleasure From potatoes freshly made, Sing of the holiday of light and freedom, Both by day and both by night. Khaneke is a festival, a festival of a miracle Come and eat some latkes, sing and dont forget Dona dona dona dona dona dona dona don (2) Coins are given to the children And khaneke money of chocolate. We read stores of Sholem Aleykhem Of a lovely shtetl world gone by. Khaneke is a festival, a festival of a miracle Come and eat some latkes, sing and don't forget
