[HANASHIR:7344] Re: Ladino songs

[Naomi Farina <nerfsing...>]

Here is a word for word translation, but it will have to be "manipulated" a bit 
to make sense in English
Hanuka = Chanuka
linda = beautiful
sta = is
aki = here
ocho = eight
candelas = candles
para = for
mi = me

  Subject: [HANASHIR:7342] Ladino songs


  I would like to purchase a couple of CD's of Ladino songs to help me add to 
my concert repertoire this part of my heritage.  Can anyone suggest some good 
names?  My computer is not fast enough to play Real Audio so I have to guess a 
little when ordering.  I like to listen to good, clear voices with acoustic 
accompaniment.

  One more question:  I will be teaching Ocho Kandelikas to my adult choir for 
Chanukah and would like to give them a word-for-word translation.  I have the 
music from The Jewish Fake Book which is terrific but doesn't include that kind 
of info.  Can anyone help?  The Ladino words I need translated are:

  Hanuka linda sta aki
  ocho kandelas para mi

  Thanks,
