The little oil lamp that lights our souls on Chanukah.

lyrics

כד קטן
מילים: אהרון אשמן
לחן: יואל ולבה

כַּד קָטָן, כַּד קָטָן,
שְׁמוֹנָה יָמִים שַׁמְנוֹ נָתַן.
כָּל הָעָם הִתְפַּלֵּא,
מֵאֵלָיו הוּא מִתְמַלֵּא.

כָּל הָעָם אָז הִתְכַּנֵּס
וְהִכְרִיז: אַךְ, זֶהוּ נֵס!
אִלּוּלֵא כַּד זֶה נִשְׁאַר
מִקְדָּשֵׁנוּ לֹא הוּאַר.

Transliteration

KAD KATAN

Kad katan, kad katan
Sh'monah yamim shamno natan.
Kol ha'am hitpalei,
Mei'eilav hu mitmalei.

Kol ha'am hitkaneis
Vehichriz: ach, zehu ness!
Ilulei kad zeh nish'ar
Mikdasheinu lo hu'ar.

Translation

A little jug, a little jug
For eight days its oil did burn.
All the nation wondered how
It stayed so full and lasted through.

All the nation gathered there
And: "It's a miracle!" did declare.
Had this little jug not been left
The Temple of light would have been bereft.
