Hanuka

|
Ladino:
Mos viene la fiesta de la hanukia
A todos mozos hinche de alegria.
La mujer nunca manca de su taria,
Porque a ella encombe hanukia.
Los Hasmonayim en este luzio dia
Mostraron sus tan grande baragania.
Y siempre de ellos mos acodraremos
Y al Dio grande siempre bendizeremos.
Que plazer ya es para las creaturas
Cuando empesan a recivir dulçurias,
Los tan hermozos jugueticos del padre
Con las tan luzias caresas de la madre.
El Dio mos salvo de tanta grande dolor.
El sea siempre muestro grande salvador.
Nunca no tengamos mal ni hazinura,
Que no mos de nunca ningun' amargura.
English:
The festival of Hanuka is approaching
It fills us all with joy.
A woman never fails to do her duty,
For she is entrusted with the hanukiyah.
The Hasmonayim, on this bright day
Showed us their great valor.
We shall always remember them
And we shall always bless our great God.
What a pleasure it is for the children
When they begin to receive sweets,
Beautiful toys from their father
With warm hugs from their mother.
God saved us from great sorrow.
May he always be our great savior.
May we never have trouble or sickness
May we never know bitterness.

With its light and songs
The day of Hanuka came
To praise the days long ago.

In this precious holiday,
The tops will spin
Our light is so beautiful.

Ladino:
Hanukía, bayla mi tía,
Hanuká, bayla mi bavá
Afuera ya sta frío i eskuro –
Largas noches del invierno!
Ma no ulvidemos:
La ora mas eskura
Es para amaneser!
Toda eskurina podemos dezazer
Kon el nombre del Dio!
Ya viene Hanuká!
Al tiempo muy eskuro de los Makabís
Fue el Templo desakrado,
Ma eyos, pokos kon koraje,
Lo rekonsakraron –
Izieron Hanuká!
El alzete de un día ocho días ya turó
Kon el nombre del Dio!
Ya viene Hanuká!
English:
Hanukiya, my aunt is dancing,
Hanukkah, my grandmother’s dancing
Outside it’s cold and dark –
Long nights of winter!
But let us not forget:
The darkest hour
Comes right before the dawn!
All darkness we can dispel
With the name of God!
Hanukkah is coming!
In the very dark time of the Maccabees
The Temple was desecrated,
But they, a few with courage,
Rededicated it -
They made Hanuka!
The oil for one day lasted for eight days
With the name of God!
Hanukkah is coming!

A mi Dio de salvasion, donare l'alavasion.

English:
Oh mighty stronghold of my salvation, to praise You is a delight.
Restore my house of prayer, and there we will offer thanksgiving.
When You have prepared the slaughter for the blaspheming foe,
Then I will celebrate with song of hymn the altar's dedication.

Dak il tas, toma'l tas

Ke le seia milizina
Ocho dias de Hanuka,
Lehadlik ner shel Hanuka.
Mete la karne al tandur
Tanyeremos un buen santur
En shabat de Hanuka

Ke a mi muncho m'agrada
A bever en Hanuka
Ocho dias de Hanuka,
Lehadlik ner shel Hanuka.
English:
Beat the plate, take the plate
The little girls play
On the Shabbat of Hanuka
Eight days of Hanuka,
Light a Hanuka candle.
The chicken in the kitchen
Give it to the neighbor to taste
So that it will be a medicine
Eight days of Hanuka,
Light a Hanuka candle.
Put the meat in the oven
We will play a good santur
On the Shabbat of Hanuka
Eight days of Hanuka,
Light a Hanuka candle.
The wine of the evening meal
Is very much to my taste
To drink on Hanuka
Eight days of Hanuka,
Light a Hanuka candle.
