The Hannukah Song (Yiddish Folk Melody)

Hello all.

Now, despite the fact I'm not jewish, I love this song, its so dark and deep, and I decided to upload it here after my teacher used it in class (we were reading Night at the time) so here it is!

Lyrics:
O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah Come light the Menorah,
Lets have a party , we'll all dance the Howrah
gather round the table we'll give you a treat
Sivonom to play with lavivot to eat

and wile 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...

[Repeat]

I'm looking for the one that goes like this: "Oh Hanukkah,oh Hanukkah!The sweet celebration. Around the best we gather In complete jubilation. Happiest of seasons Now is here. Many are the reason for good cheer. Together We'll weather Whatever tomorrow may bring. So hear us rejoicing And merrily voicing The Hanukkah song that we sing. Hoy! Hear us rejoicing And merrily voicing The Hanukkah song that we sing..."
