Oíche chiúin, oíche mhic dé
Cách 'na suan dís araon
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis
Naoín beag gnaoigheal
Ceananntais caomh
Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh
Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh
Oíche chiúin, oíche mhic dé
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal;
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin
Críost an slánaitheoir féin
Críost an slánaitheoir féin
(translation:
Silent night
---------------
Silent night, night of god's son
Soundly in slumber, the pair together
The pair and love, watching with affection
The small bright beautiful child
Darling little one
Christ, calmly asleep
Christ, calmly asleep
Silent night, night of god's son
Shepherds first heard the tale
The angels crying out alleluia
Lovely chanting near and far
Christ, the saviour himself
Christ, the saviour himself.)
