Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Aoirí ar dtús chuala an scéal,
"Aililiuia" aingil ag glaoch
Cantain Shuairc i ngar is i gcéin
Críost ár Slánaitheoir féin,
Críost ár Slánaitheoir féin.

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cách 'na suan, dís araon,
Dís is dílse ag faire le spéis,
Naí beag gnaoi-gheal ceanán
tais caomh
Críost ina chodladh go séimh.
Críost ina chodladh go séimh,

Silent night, night of God's son.
Shepherds first heard the tale
The angels crying out Alleluia.
Lovely chanting near and far.
Christ, the saviour himself.
Christ, the saviour himself.

Silent night, night of God's son.
Soundly in slumber, the pair together
The pair and love, watching with affection
The small bright beautiful child Darling
little one.
Christ, calmly asleep.
Christ, calmly asleep.
