Translated lyrics
I am a little dreydl I am made out of lead Come let us all play At dreydl -- one two three Oh dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, oh spin dreydl spin. So let all of us play at dreydl, one and two. And I love to dance, to twirl in a circle. Come let us all dance a dreydl-round-dance. (Translation from http://www.eirelink.com/alanking/hanukah.htm)
