Oh, you little candles,
You tell stories,
Innumerable legends:
You tell of blood,
Triumph and courage -
Wonders of the past!
When I see you lighting
A shiny dream comes about,
An old dream is speaking:
“Jew, you fought once,
Jew, you triumphed once”.
God! It's hardly believable!
Oh, you little candles!
Your stories
Awaken my pain,
Deep down my heart moves
And with tears a question rises,
“What will happen now?”

Dak il tas, toma'l tas
Las muchachas meten bas
En sabat de Hanukkah
Ocho dias de Hanukkah
Lehadlik ner shel Hanukkah.
El vino de la serada
Que a mi muncho m'agrada
A beber en Hanukkah
Ocho dias…
Mete la carne al tandur
Taneremos un buen santur
En Shabat de Hanukkah
Ocho dias…
English translation:
Strike the tray, take from the tray
The girls play
On Shabbath Hanukkah.
Eight days of Hanukkah
“To light a candle of Hanukkah”.
