How Lucky are we that we have lights so we can see
Although the day is done

What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark
Every evening, one by one
Until the end of hanukkah, of hanukkah.


With the jingle bells and the toys
And the TV shows and noise

It's easy to forget
At the end of the day
Our whole family will say

These words for Hanukkah

Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu melech ha'olam, asher kid'shanu

B'mitz'votav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Hanukkah.

Light the candles for Hanukkah, for Hanukkah

We remember how Maccabees
Fought so all of us could be free
And so we celebrate on this festival of the lights

There's a joyful time every night
But we illuminate the candles of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah


Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam she'asa niseem
La'avoteinu bayamim haheim baz'man hazeh.


Hanukkah...
Hanukkah...
