Lyrics : English Translation :
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé Silent night, night of God's son
Cách 'na suan, dís araon Everyone is asleep, the pair together
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis The most faithful pair watching with hope
Naíon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh A little baby, a mild and gentle child
Críost, 'na chodhladh go sámh Christ, calmly asleep
Críost, 'na chodhladh go sámh Christ, calmly asleep
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé Silent night, night of God's son
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal Shepherds were first to hear the tale
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch The angels crying out Alleluia
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin Lovely chanting, near and far
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin Christ, the savior himself
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin Christ, the savior himself
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé Silent night, night of God's son
Cách 'na suan, dís araon Everyone is asleep, the pair together
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis The most faithful pair watching with hope
Naíon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh A little baby, a mild and gentle child
Críost, 'na chodhladh go sámh Christ, calmly asleep
Críost, 'na chodhladh go sámh Christ, calmly asleep
