I thought I was going to have to type this one out, but I found it at Rhino Records (click), on the liner notes of a CD called To Life! Songs Of Chanukah And Other Jewish Celebrations. Rhino always does a good job on their reissue collections, and this one is particularly good.

Beautiful Chanukah is here, eight candles for me.

One candle, two candles, three candles, four candles, five candles, six candles, seven candles, eight candles for me.

Many parties will be held, with joy and with pleasure.

One candle . . .

I will cook pastelikos [a Sephardic delicacy] with almonds and honey.

One candle . .

Album notes:
While most people think of the German derived Yiddish as the lingua franca of the Jews in the Diaspora, Ladino is an old Jewish language used by the Jews of Spain and the countries of their later exile after the Inquisition in 1492. In fact, scholars today who wish to study Spanish texts from the time of Ferdinand and Isabella I, make frequent reference to Ladino dictionaries to find the meaning of archaic terms that have only been kept in use by Sephardic Jews.

This song, with its very Spanish-sounding melody, is also a reminder that much of what gives Spanish music its sound came from the music of the Sephardic Jews who brought their Moorish-sounding music and instruments to Spain during its Golden Age.
