Oiche Chiuin (Silent Night) Lyrics

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cach 'na suan, dís araon,
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis,
Naíon beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.


Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal,
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch,
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcein,
Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein,
Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein.


Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic De,
Cach 'na suan, dís araon,
Dis is dílse 'faire le spéis,
Naion beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh,
Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.

[English Translation]
Silent night, night of God's son,
Everyone is asleep, the pair together.
The most faithful pair, watching with hope
A little baby, a mild and gentle child.

Christ, calmly asleep.
Christ, calmly asleep.


Silent night, night of God's son,
Shepherds were first to hear the tale.
The angels crying out Alleluia.
Lovely chanting near and far.


Christ, the saviour himself.
Christ, the saviour himself.

It is beautiful. :)

A little too saccharine for you? Guaranteed to make one an instant diabetic... :P I'm actually quite shocked by you now.
