Lyrics (Excerpt):
Hanerot halalu anu madlikin
Hanerot halalu anu madlikin
al ha nisim v'al ha-nifla'ot
v'al hat'shu'ot v'al ha milhamot
She-a-sita la'avotenu
bayamim hahem bazman ha-zeh
al y'dei kohanekha hak'doshim.

(Excerpt of English Translation):
We light these lights
For the miracles and the wonders,
For the redemption and the battles
That you made for our forefathers
In those days at this season,
Through your holy priests.
