Lyrics

In the darkest days of the sun, 

and the darkest nights of the moon,

we gather together to sing this little tune.

we light the colored candles and dance around the room!

May the joy of Chanukah bring peace and blessing soon,

in the darkest time of the sun and moon..

Now the winter days are so short, 

and the moonless nights are so long!

We gather together to sing this little song.

We light the colored candles, they don't last very long.

May this lovely darkness make us whole and strong,

when the days are short and the nights are long.
