YEVANIM
Yevanim nikbetzu alai,
azai biy'mei chashmanim,
ufartzu chomot migdalai,
vetim'u kol hash'manim,
uminotar kankanim,
na'asah nes lashoshanim,
bnei binah
yemei shmonah
kav'u shir ur'nanim.

THE GREEKS
Greeks gathered to attack me,
in the days of the Hasmoneans ,
they demolished my towers,
and polluted all the oils,
from the last remaining flask,
a miracle was wrought,
men of wisdom
decreed eight days
for hymns and praise.
