Lyrics






I have a Little Dreidel
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!






dreidel image Sivivon
Sivivon, sov, sov, sov
Sivivon, sov, sov, sov
Hanukkah, hu chag tov
Hanukkah, hu chag tov
Sivivon, sov, sov, sov!

Chag simcha hu la-am
Nes gadol haya sham
Nes gadol haya sham
Chag simcha hu la-am.

(Translation)
Dreidel, spin, spin, spin.
Hanukkah is a great holiday.
It is a celebration for our nation.
A great miracle happened there.
Maoz Tzur
Maoz tzur yeshua-si
Lecha na-eh li-sha-beyach
Tikone bais ti-fee-lasi
Vi-sham todah ni-za-beyach.

Li-ase ta-chin mat-beyach
Mee-tzar ham-na-beyach
Az eg-more vi-sheer meez-mor
Hanukkahs ha-meez-beyach
Az eg-more vi-sheer meez-mor
Hanukkahs ha-meez-beyach.

(Translation)
O 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.






Hanukkah, Hanukkah!
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Chag yafeh kol kach
Ohr chaviv, mi-savis
Gil li-yeled rach.

Hanukkah, Hanukkah
Sivivon, sov, sov
Sov, sov, sov! Sov, sov, sov!
Ma nayim vi-tov.

(Translation)
Hanukkah is a great holiday. Surrounded with lovely light.
Fun for little children.
Dreidel, spin, spin, spin.
How wonderful!
Mi Yimalel (Who Can Retell?)
Mi y'malel g'vurot Yisrael
Otan mi yim neh
Hen b'hol dor ya-koom ha-gibor
Go-el ha am -SHMA!

Bayamim ha hem bazman hazeh
Maccabee moshi-a v-fodeh
uv'yamenu Kol Am Yisrael
yitahed yakoom l'higael

Who can retell the things that befell us?
Who can count them?
In every age, a hero or sage
Arose to our aid

Hark! In days of yore in Israel's ancient land
Brave Maccabeus led the faithful band
But now all Israel must as one arise
Redeem itself through deed and sacrifice
