Oíche Chiíºn (silent Night)
Oíche chiíºin, 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
Naoí 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 chiíºin, oíche Mhic Dé, Silent night, night of God's son.

Aoirí ar dtíºs chuala ' scéal; Shepherds first heard the tale
Allelíºia 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.
