Songs and rhymes main index

Sung to: "Three Blind Mice"
Red, green, black,
Red, green, black.
Kwanzaa's here,
Kwanzaa's here.
The decorations are quite a sight,
We light a candle every night,
The holiday is filled with light.
Kwanzaa's here!


​
First night we light a candle for Umoja,
It's candle number one,
Kwanzaa has now begun.

The second night we light a candle for kujichagulia,
It's candle number two,
Kwanzaa's here and there's lots to do.

The third night we light a candle for Ujima
It's candle number three,
Kwanzaa's here and there's lots to see.

The fourth night we light a candle for Ujamaa,
it's candle number four,
Burning brightly as part of Kwanzaa lore.

The fifth night we light a candle for Nia,
It's candle number five,
Kwanzaa has really come alive.

The sixth night we light a candle for Kuumba,
It's candle number six,
Kwanzaa's here and there's food to fix.

The seventh night we light a candle for Imani,
It's candle number seven,
Now the glow of all the Kwanzaa candles reaches around the Earth.




Tune: Twinkle Twinkle
Seven candles in a row,

Waiting to join the Kwanzaa glow.
We will light them one by one,
Until all seven have joined the fun.
Seven little candles burning bright
Filling the world with Kwanzaa light.


One little, two little, three little candles,
Four little, five little, six little candles,
Seven little candles shine for Kwanzaa,
Shining in the kinara.

Three are red and three are green ones, 
Black in the middle is a little bit taller,
Shine little candles, shine for Kwanzaa,
Shining in the kinara.


We wish you a happy Kwanzaa,

We wish you a happy Kwanzaa,
​We wish you a happy Kwanzaa,
​And a happy New Year!
