Lyrics:
Cró na Nollag ins an oíche,
'bhFeiceann tú an leanbh Íosa,
Réalt ag soilsiú 'nuas go rígheal,
Rí na Cruinne ar an tsaol.
Cúrfá:
Glór na n–aingeal oíche naofa,
Síocháin Chríost ar na mílte
Fáilte 's fial roimh Rí na Ríthe,
Fáilte a rís is fáilte choí'.
An leanbh Íosa ina luí,
Muire Máthair 'tá ag guí,
Sin é Iósaf lena taobh,
Mór an t–aoibhneas ar a chroí.
Translation:
Christmas Eve in the night,
'You see the baby Jesus,
A star shining brightly,
King of the Universe on earth.
Chorus:
Voice of the angels on a holy night,
Peace of Christ upon thousands
Welcome and welcome to the King of Kings,
Welcome to the king and welcome to him.
The baby Jesus lying down,
Mother Mary is praying,
There is Joseph by her side,
Great is the joy in his heart.
