Lyrics:
Féach é sínte, an leanbhán dílis,
Alleluia!
Ina luí ar an dtuí go ciúin san oíche,
Alleluia!
Tá Muire agus Iósaf istigh insa chró leis,
Alleluia!
Agus dar ndóigh, tá an t-asal is an bhó ann,
Alleluia!
“Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Alleluia!”
A chanann na haingil ag móradh Dé dóibh,
Alleluia!
Beannaigh sinn, a Íosagáin,
Alleluia!
Seol ó Bheithil chughainn síocháin,
Alleluia!
Translation:
Look at him lying there, the faithful little child,
Alleluia!
Lying on the straw quietly in the night,
Alleluia!
Mary and Joseph are in the shed with him,
Alleluia!
And of course, the donkey and the cow are there,
Alleluia!
“Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Alleluia”
So sing the angels as they glorify God,
Alleluia!
Bless us, baby Jesus,
Alleluia!
Send us peace from Bethlehem,
Alleluia!
