Oíche Chiún

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

Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis
Naoín beag gnaoigheal
ceananntais caomh

Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh.
Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh.

English Translation

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 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.

Silent night, night of God's son.
God's Son with a smile on his face
A sign spoken to be fully understood
The sweet voice of an angel heard in the air
Christ is coming into the world,
Christ is coming into the world.
