[HANASHIR:7500] Re: Chanukah O Chanukah in Yiddish

[Shemesh96 <Shemesh96...>]

Dear Rachelle,
Jusr to keep things safe for you, here is the full Yiddish text  for Chanukah 
Oy Chanukah as I learned it at my Zeydeh's knee.

Oy Chanukah, Oy Chanukah
a yuntif a sheyner
a lustiker a freilacher
nito noch a zoyner
Alle nach im dreidlach spielen mir
Zudik heyse latkes est ona shir
g'shvinder tsind kinder
di dininke lichteilich ohn.
Zinkt Al Hannisim loibt Gott far di nissim
un kumt gicher tantsen in kohn.

As this was very much an orally transmitted song, there are probably many 
variations such as the line you included in your posting.

Hope this helps.
