Chanukah Sing Along

Ma'oz Tzur

O Fortress, Rock of my salvation, unto thee it is becoming to give praise: let my house of prayer be restored, and I will there offer thee thanksgivings when thou shalt have prepared a slaughter of the blaspheming foe, I will complete with song and psalm the dedication of the altar.

Banu Choshech, Folk

We came to banish the darkness
In our hands we hold fire and light
Each of us is a small light
But together we are tremendously bright

Flee darkness! Back off darkness!
Flee in the face of the Light!

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah,
Come light the menorah
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora
Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat
S'vivon to play with, and latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low.
One for each night they spread a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.

Oy, khanike, oy, khanike,
A yontef a sheyner,
A lustiker, a freylekher,
Nito nokh azoyner!

Ale nakht in dreydl shpiln mir,
Frishe heyse latkes esn mir.

Geshvinder, tsindt, kinder,
Di khanike-likhtelekh on.
Zol yeder bazunder
Bazingen dem vunder
Un tantsn freylekh in kon.

S’vivon Sov Sov Sov, Folk
S’vivon, sov sov sov, Chanukah hu chag tov
Chanukah hu chag tov, S’vivon sov sov sov,
Chag simcha hu la-am
Nes, Gadol, Haya, Sham
Chanukah hu chag tov
Nes, Gadol, Haya, Sham

Hanukkah linda sta aki
Ocho kandelas para mi...

Una kandelika, dos kandelikas
Tres kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas
Sintyu kandelikas, sej kandelikas
Siete kandelikas, ocho kandelas para mi

Muchas fiestas vo fazer,
kon alegriyas y plazer ...

Los pastelikos vo kumer,
kon almendrikas y la myel...

Una kandelika, dos kandelikas
Tres kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas
Sintyu kandelikas, sej kandelikas
Siete kandelikas, ocho kandelas para mi.

Beautiful Chanukah is now here
And eight candles for me appear.

Oh – one little, two little,
Three little, four little candles;
Five, six, seven little candles,
Eight little candles for me.

Lots of parties for my leisure
So much fun and so much pleasure.

Dainty pastries for me to eat
With almonds and honey so sweet.
