Ocho Kandelikas
by Flory Jagoda

Hanukah Linda sta aki, ocho kandelas para mi,

        Una kandelika, dos kandelikas, tres kandelikas,
        kuatro kandelikas, sintyu kandelikas,
        sejz kandelikas, siete kandelikas, 
        ocho kandelikas para mi.

Muchas fiestas vo fazer, con alegrias i plazer...

Los pastelikas vo kumer, con almendrikas i la miel...

(Translation of the verses):

1. Beautiful Chanukah is here, eight candles for me.
2. Many parties will be held, with joy and with pleasure.
3. I will cook pastelikos [a Sephardic delicacy] with almonds and honey.


Great Song.  Audiences always love it (in my (short) experience).

-- Eric
