Hebrew Lyrics
Y'vanim nikb'tsu alay azay bime chashmanim
Ufartsu chomot migdalay v'timu kol hashmanim
Uminotar kankanim naasa nes lashoshanim
B'ne vina y'me shmona kavu shir ur'nanim
Translation
Greeks gathered to attack me in the days of the Hasmoneans
They demolished my towers and polluted all the oils
From the last remaining flask a miracle was wrought for
Israel
Men of wisdom then decreed eight days for hymns and praise
This is one of the paragraphs from the Chanukah song "Maoz Tzur" sung after lighting the Menorah.
