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.)
