Oiche Chiun (Silent Night) Lyrics

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Silent night, night of God's son.
Cách 'na suan dís araon, Soundly in slumber, the pair together
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis The pair and love, watching with affection
Naoín beag gnaoigheal The small bright beautiful child,
ceananntais caomh darling little one.

Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh. Christ, calmly asleep.
Críost, 'na chodhladh go séimh. Christ, calmly asleep.

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Silent night, night of God's son.
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal; Shepherds first heard the tale
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch. The angels crying out Alleluia.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin Lovely chanting near and far.

Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin Christ, the saviour himself.
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin Christ, the saviour himself.
