[Debbie Block <dblock55...>]

The translation from the sheet music(available from TMP) is:

Beautiful Chanukah is here
Eight candles for me.

We are singing this song in Adult Choir and I just got the music last night!

  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

    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,
