What we do, eight nights, windows, shine bright With that view in sight, iridescently Illuminating Judas Maccabeus and his army won’t defeat us Antiochus was an evil guy Banning our religion and our family tradition Was impossible to justify Judah won the fight, miracle of light Shining to this very day We’ll carry on forever in this holiday together And we’ll never let it fade away The whole year anticipating Sufganiyot, potato grating 2000 years rededicating Nes Gadol Haya What we do, eight nights, windows, shine bright With that view in sight, iridescently Illuminating Add another candle every night Got a Chanukiah glowin’ bright Every generation, won the fight Nes Gadol Haya What we do, eight nights, windows, shine bright With that view in sight, iridescently Illuminating
