[Verse 1]
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé
Cach ‘na suan, dís araon
Dís is dílse ‘faire le spéis
Naíon beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh
Críost, ‘na chodhladh go seimh
Críost, ‘na chodhladh go seimh
[Verse 2]
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé
Aoirí ar dtús chuala ‘n scéal
"Allelúia" aingeal ag glaoch,
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcein
Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein
Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein
[Verse 3]
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé
Cach ‘na suan, dís araon
Dís is dílse ‘faire le spéis
Naíon beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh
Críost, ‘na chodhladh go seimh
Críost, ‘na chodhladh go seimh
Translation:
[Verse 1]
Silent night, night of God
Everyone asleep, the pair together
The most faithful pair watching with hope
The small, bright, darling little baby
Christ, calmly asleep
Christ, calmly asleep
[Verse 2]
Silent night, night of God
Shepherds first heard the tale
Angels crying out "Alleluia"
Lovely chanting near and far
Christ, the Savior himself
Christ, the Savior himself
[Verse 3]
Silent night, night of God
Everyone asleep, the pair together
The most faithful pair watching with hope
The small, bright, darling little baby
Christ, calmly asleep
Christ, calmly asleep
