Translation
Silent night, night of God's son,
Everyone is asleep, the pair together.
The most faithful pair, watching with hope
The small bright beautiful child, darling little one.
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.
