Lyrics
הנרות הללו אנו מדליקין
(These candles we are lighting)
Hanerot, hanerot, hanerot halalu (2x)
Anu madlikin, anu madlikin
Hanerot halalu, anu madlikin!
In the darkest time of the year,
Sun and moon are hiding,
But my dear ones, have no fear,
Love right here is abiding.
See the light increase
as we dream of peace!
Hanerot halalu, anu madlikin!
Round and round the year we go,
Nature gives us a reason.
Light the candles, watch them glow,
Celebrate the season!
See the light increase
as we dream of peace!
Hanerot halalu, anu madlikin!
One and two and three and four
Five and six and seven,
And then we have one more
Eight nights of heaven!
See the light increase
as we dream of peace!
Hanerot halalu, anu madlikin!
Hanerot, hanerot, hanerot halalu (2x)
Anu madlikin, anu madlikin
Hanerot halalu, anu madlikin!
