English Translation:

Rise up, my light, rise up and shine;
My candles, glow with light divine.
See my Menorah shining in the night,
For all the children basking in its light,
For all the children in its light, in its light.

Rise up, my light, rise up and shine;
My candles, glow with light divine.
On Chanuka we celebrate and sing;
Our prayers rise, our meloldies take wing,
Our prayers rise, come let us sing, let us sing.

Rise up, my light, rise up and shine;
My candles, glow with light divine.
Come hear the story of Judah Maccabee,
The mighty hero who set our people free,
The mighty Judah Maccabee, set us free.
