Lyrics:	English Translation:

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé	Silent night, night of God's son
Cach faoi shuain solas geal ghlé	__ clear, white light
Leanbh Íosa ceansa séimh	Baby Jesus, gentle and mild
Muire, Iosaf 's aingil Dé	Mary, Joseph and God's angel
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh	Christ, calmly asleep
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh	Christ, calmly asleep

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé	Silent night, night of God's son
Trí aoirí ar dtús chuala an scéal	Three shepherds were first to hear the tale
Allelúia, aingeal faoi shéan	Alleluia, a marvelous angel
Glór's na harda i ngar is i gcéin	Glory in the highest, near and far
Naíonán cosúil linn féin	An infant like ourselves
Naíonán cosúil linn féin	An infant like ourselves

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé	Silent night, night of God's son
Cach faoi shuain solas geal ghlé	__ clear, white light
Leanbh Íosa ceansa séimh	Baby Jesus, gentle and mild
Muire, Iosaf 's aingil Dé	Mary, Joseph and God's angel
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh	Christ, calmly asleep
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh	Christ, calmly asleep
