Autumn Canon

Fly, fly, fly,

The leaves take hold of the branch.

Breezes are strong;

Winter is coming.

Gone, gone, gone,

The leaves are gone from the trees.

Soft falls the snow;

Winter is here now.

O, Chanakah

O, Chanukah, O, Chanukah, come light the menorah.

Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the horah.

Gather ‘round the table, we’ll give you a treat.

Shining tops to play with and latkes to eat;

And while we are playing, the candles are burning low,

One for each night, they shed a sweet light to remind us of days long ago.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light to remind us of days long ago.

Tancuj, tancuj vykrucaj

Tancuj, tancuj, vykrucaj, vykrucaj,

Len mi piecku nezrucaj, nezrucaj!

Lepsia pecka na zi-mu, na zi-mu,

Nema kazperinu, perinu.

Tra-la, la la, tra-la, la la,

La la la la la la la la la la.

Tra-la, la la, tra-la, la la,

La la la la la la la la la la.
