Maoz Tzur

Maoz tzur y-shu-ah-ti, L'kha na-eh l'shabei-ach. Tikkon beit t-filati V'sham todah n'zabei-ach. L'eit takhin mat'bei-ach Mi-tzar ha-m'nabei'ach. Az egmor b'shir mizmor Chanukkat ha-miz'bei-ach. Az egmor b'shir mizmor Chanukkat ha-miz'bei-ach.

 

Rock of Ages

Rock of my salvation, With delight we praise you. Restore the Temple Where we will bring offerings. When you will eliminate our enemies, Then I shall sing At the rededication.

[Singable English version:] Rock of ages, let our song Praise Your saving power. You amid the raging throng Were our sheltering tower. Furious they assailed us, But Your help availed us. And Your word broke their sword When our own strength failed us.

 

Sevivon, Sov, Sov, Sov

Sevivon, sov, sov, sov! Chanukkah, hu chag tov; Chanukah, hu chag tov; Sevivon, sov, sov, sov!

Chag simchah hu la'am, Nes gadol hayah sham; Nes gadol hayah sham, Chag simchah hu la'am.

 

Dreidel, Spin, Spin, Spin

Dreidel, spin, spin, spin! Chanukkah is a good holiday; Chanukkah is a good holiday, Dreidel, spin, spin, spin!

It's a happy holiday for the people; A great miracle happened there; A great miracle happened there, It's a happy holiday for the people

 

I Have a Little Dreidel

I have a little dreidel I made it out of clay And when it's dry and ready Then dreidel I shall play!

(Chorus) Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay And when it's dry and ready then dreidel I shall play!

It has a lovely body With legs so short and thin And when my dreidel's tired It drops and then I win!

(Chorus)

My dreidel's always playful It loves to dance and spin A happy game of dreidel Come play now, let's begin!

(Chorus)

Chanukkah, oh, Chanukkah

Chanukkah, oh, Chanukkah, Come light the menorah. Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora. Gather round the table, we'll all have a treat. Sevivon to play with and latkes to eat.

And while we are playing The candles are burning bright One for each night, they shed a sweet light To remind us of days long ago.
