Oiche chiuin, oiche Mhic De,
Cach 'na suan dis araon
Dis is dilse 'faire le speis
Naion beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh

Criost, 'na chodladh go samh
Criost, 'na chodladh go samh

Oiche chiuin, oiche Mhic De,
Aoiri ar dtus chuala 'n sceal
Alleluia aingeal ag glaoch
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcein

Criost an Slanaitheoir Fein
Criost an Slanaitheoir Fein

[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
