Ocho Candelikas

New English lyrics by Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou

The holiday of lights is here
Good friends and happiness to share
Sweets with honey for us to eat
Candles to light and friends to greet

One little candle… (etc.)
8 little candles …. For me

Hanukah lindo sta aki
ocho candelas para mi
una kandelika, dos kandelikas,
tres kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas,
sintju kandelikas, sysh kandelikas,
sieto kandelikas, ocho kandelikas para mi.

Muchas fiestas vo fazar,
con alegrias i plazar
una kandelika, dos kandelikas,
tres kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas,
sintju kandelikas, sysh kandelikas,
sieto kandelikas, ocho kandelikas para mi.

Los pastelikas vo kumer,
con almendrikas i la miel
una kandelika, dos kandelikas,
tres kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas,
sintju kandelikas, sysh kandelikas,
sieto kandelikas, ocho kandelikas para mi.

This beautiful holiday song is sung to celebrate Hanukkah in Spain. The language is Ladino - a mixture of Hebrew and Spanish. I've added a new first verse in English, for my English-speaking friends.
