text: Hayo, haya, melech rasha, melech rasha
  Charbo chada, umlutasha, umlutasha
  Mihu? antiochus, antiochus
  Let us remember reign of terror, reign of terror
  King who murdered pain forever, pain forever
  Who then? antiochus, antiochus
  Antiochus, antiochus
  The blood he spilled, jerusalem, jerusalem
  So many killed, gone all of them, gone all of them
  Who then? antiochus, antiochus
  Our hearts he broke, he burned the torah, burned the torah
  Ash and smoke, the crushed menorah, crushed menorah
  Who then? antiochus, antiochus
  Arise our hero, judah save us, judah save us
  Prize so dear, the victry gave us, freedom gave us
  Who then? macabeus, macabeus
  Oh sing our songs and praise the torah, praise the torah
  Right the wrongs and light menorah, light menorah
  When then? chanukah, chanukah
