Ocho Kandelikas

"Ocho Kandelikas" (lit. 'Eight Little Candles') is a Ladino song celebrating the holiday of Hanukkah, written by the Jewish-American composer Flory Jagoda in 1983.[1]

The song is sung in Ladino, an Old Spanish-derived language traditionally associated with the Sephardic Jewish community.[2] The song is often performed in an Argentine tango-rhythm with accompanying accordion and violins. The lyrics of the song describes a child's joy of lighting the candles on the menorah.

The song has been recorded and performed by Voice of the Turtle (appearing on their CD: Circle of Fire; Boston 1986), Erran Baron Cohen, the Portland-based lounge orchestra Pink Martini, the multilingual rock group Hip Hop Hoodios, the London-based jazz flamenco group Los Desterrados, the female a cappella ensemble Vocolot, chazzan Alberto Mizrahi, Yasmin Levy, an Israeli singer-songwriter of Ladino music, and Idina Menzel[3], an American actress, performer, singer and songwriter.

Hanukka linda sta aki,

ocho kandelas para mi. (×2)

 Beautiful Hanukkah is here,

eight candles for me. (×2)

O — Una kandelika, dos kandelikas,

trez kandelikas, kuatro kandelikas sintyu kandelikas, sesh kandelikas, siete kandelikas, ocho kandelas para mi.

 O — One little candle, two little candles,

three little candles, four little candles, five little candles, six little candles, seven little candles, eight candles for me.

Muchas fiestas vo fazer,

kon alegriyas y plazer. (×2)

 Lots of parties to have,

with happiness and pleasure. (×2)

Los pastelikos vo kumer,

kon almendrikas y la myel. (×2)

 Little pastries to eat,

with little almonds and honey. (×2)

gollark: Didn't old unix have `compress` or something using LZW?
gollark: Oh, so you mean this `hdr` goes at the start and the `dofs` thing tells you where the bit appended to the end is?
gollark: Perhaps the headers should also store the location of the last header, in case of [DATA EXPUNGED].
gollark: There are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end and decompresses stuff at the right offset
