O Hanukkah

You can read about the "Oh Hanukkah" song, including English lyrics, at Wikipedia.


O Hanukkah (author unknown)

O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah,
Accende Menorah,
Conviv'um habe'amus et
Saltemus Horam!

Congregate ad mensam
Ti' damus delectationem.
Turbo ludendum et lagana edendum (elide & slur a lot!)

Et dum nos saltamus,
Candelae deflagrant.
Una pro nocte
Dulciter ardent
Admonitum dies praeterritos
