Yiddish Lyrics

Tsindt on likhtelekh dininke, sheyne
Zey zoln brenen eyne nokh eyne!
Du, Yehudo, eybik lebstu
Akht teg tsufridn
Zingen mir, yidn
Akht teg gantse klingt undzer shir!

Freylekh lustikh likhtele finkl
Du zolst balaykhtn hel yeder vinkl
"Al hanisim" hoykh zogt, kinder
Zingt freylekh, brider
Khaneke-lider
Ir zolt nit fargest dem khanuka-nes

Translation

Light these pretty little candles one by one
For eight whole days we will rejoice
Let the candles illuminate every corner
We will sing Chanukah songs
And never forget the great miracle of this joyous festival.
