Translation of the song lyrics Oíche Chiúin (Silent Night) - Enya

Oíche Chiúin (Silent Night) (original)

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.

Oíche Chiúin (Silent Night) (translation)

Silent night, night of the Son of God,
Everyone is asleep, both of them,
Loyal duo 'watch with interest,
A gentle little infant of a kindly head,
Christ, calmly asleep,
Christ, calmly asleep.
Silent night, night of the Son of God,
Shepherds first heard the story,
Allelúia angel calling,
Chant chanting near and far,
Christ the Savior Himself,
Christ the Savior Himself.
Silent night, night of the Son of God,
Everyone is asleep, both of them,
Loyal duo 'watch with interest,
A kindly little maiden of loving kindness,
Christ, calmly asleep,
Christ, calmly asleep.
