Lyrics:
A Dhia na Nollag a rugadh an oíche úd,
A d'iompaigh an réalt go geal ina lá,
Mar chaoinsolas dil' ar laethanta ár saoil,
Ár mbreithna go dtaga de bharr ár mbá
Le hÍosa an Leanbh, an fear is an Dia.
Thug oidhreacht na saoirse ón stábla
Chuig aoirí 'gus ríthe, gur fógraíodh os ard
Do lucht a pháirte ar talamh, síocháin.
Translation:
O God of Christmas, born that night,
Who turned the star bright into day,
As a light to the days of our lives,
Our birth that comes because of our death
With Jesus the Child, the man and the God.
Brought the legacy of freedom from the stable
To shepherds and kings, that it was proclaimed aloud
To those who share in it on earth - peace.
