Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Don oíche úd i mBeithil To that night in Bethlehem
Beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách Forever under the sun
Don oíche úd i mBeithil To that night in Bethlehem
Go dtáinig an bhréithir slán That the word safely came
Tá gríosghrua ar spéarthaibh There are red-hot edges on the sky
'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán And the ground in a white covering
Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín Look at baby Jesus without a crib
'S an mhaighdean á dhiúl le grá And the Virgin in delighted love
   
Don oíche úd i mBeithil To that night in Bethlehem
Beidh tagairt ar ghréin Under the sun
Beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách Forever under the sun
