Original 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
Translated lyrics
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
