A yontef a sheyner,
A lustiker a freylekher
Nisht do nokh azoyner
Ale nakht mit dreydlekh shpiln mir,
Frishe heyse latkes, esn on a shir.

Geshvinder, tsindt kinder

Zogt "Al Hanisim", loybt Got far di nisim,
Un lomir ale tantsn in kon.

Chanukah,​ Oh Chanukah
A beautiful​ celebrati​on.
Such a cheerful and happy one,
There​ is none like it.
Every​ night with the dreidels we will play,
Fresh​, hot latkes we will eat endlessly​.

Come quickly children
Light​ the Chanukah candles
Say "Al HaNissim"​​, praise God for the miracles,​​
And we will all dance together in a circle!
Say "Al HaNissim"​​, praise God for the miracles,​​
And we will all dance together in a circle!
