Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht Silent night, holy night
Alles schläft, einsam wacht All's asleep, one sole light
Nur das traute hoch heilige Paar Just the faithful and holy pair
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar Lovely boy-child with curly hair
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh' Sleep in heavenly peace
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh' Sleep in heavenly peace
   
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 gnaoigheal cheanann tais caomh The small bright beautiful child darling one
Críost na chodladh go séimh Christ calmly asleep
Críost na chodladh go séimh Christ calmly asleep
   
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
