Oнche chiъin, oнche Mhic Dй,
Cбch 'na suan dнs araon.
Dнs is dнlse 'faire le spйis
Naнon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh.

Crнost, 'na chodladh go sбmh.
Crнost, 'na chodladh go sбmh.

Oнche chiъin, oнche Mhic Dй,
Aoirн ar dtъs chuala 'n scйal.
Allelъia aingeal ag glaoch.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcйin.

Crнost an Slбnaitheoir Fйin.
Crнost an Slбnaitheoir Fйin.

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.
