Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear?

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy "Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy? Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea"

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king "Do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king? Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold"

Do you hear what I hear?

Don oíche úd i mBeithil	To that night in Bethlehem
Beidh tagairt faoi ghrian go brách	Forever under the sun
Don oíche úd i mBeithil	To that night in Bethlehem
Go dtáinig an Briathar slán	That the word safely came
Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha	There are red-hot edges on the sky
'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán	And the ground in a white covering
Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín	Look at baby Jesus without a crib
'S an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá	And the Virgin in delighted love

Said the king to the people everywhere "Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light"

Listen to what I say Do you know what I know? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear?
