| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | To that night in Bethlehem |
| Beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách | Forever under the sun |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | To that night in Bethlehem |
| Go dtáinig an bhréithir slán | That the word safely came |
| Tá gríosghrua ar spéarthaibh | 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 á dhiúl le grá | And the Virgin in delighted love |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | To that night in Bethlehem |
| Beidh tagairt ar ghréin | Under the sun |
| Beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách | Forever under the sun |
