English:

Listen to my heart
Sorrowful, alas
I am lost without you
And your wife
The great love in your life
She guided me
Be with me always
Day and night

Chorus:
Lamenting the great loneliness
The sorrowful tears
Asleep [1] in the quiet green grave
In a deep peace
There was happiness
But that departed
It was he who followed you
Your husband
The great love in your life
He guided me
Be with me always
Day and night

Chorus

I think of the day
That you were beside ne
Telling a story [2]
Of the old life [3]
I remember the day
Without want and without gloom
Be with me always
Day and night

Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars

Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.

O?che chi?in, o?che Mhic D?,
C?ch ‘na suan d?s araon.
D?s is d?lse ‘faire le sp?is
Na?on beag, leanbh ceansa ‘gus caomh.

Cr?ost, ‘na chodladh go s?mh.
Cr?ost, ‘na chodladh go s?mh.

O?che chi?in, o?che Mhic D?,
Aoir? ar dt?s chuala ‘n sc?al.
Allel?ia aingeal ag glaoch.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gc?in.

Cr?ost an Sl?naitheoir F?in.

O?che chi?in, o?che Mhic D?, Silent night, night of God’s son.
C?ch ‘na suan d?s araon, Soundly in slumber, the pair together
D?s is d?lse ‘faire le sp?is The pair and love, watching with affection
Nao?n beag gnaoigheal The small bright beautiful child,
ceananntais caomh darling little one.

Cr?ost, ‘na chodhladh go s?imh. Christ, calmly asleep.
Cr?ost, ‘na chodhladh go s?imh. Christ, calmly asleep.

O?che chi?in, o?che Mhic D?, Silent night, night of God’s son.
Aoir? ar dt?s chuala ‘n sc?al; Shepherds first heard the tale
Allel?ia aingeal ag glaoch. The angels crying out Alleluia.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gc?in Lovely chanting near and far.

Cr?ost an Sl?naitheoir F?in Christ, the saviour himself.

Na laetha geal m’?ige The bright days of my youth
———————- —————————–
(In ?m?s do mo m’athair agus do m’atair) (In honor of my father and mother)

Ag amharc tr? m’?ige Looking back over my youth
Is m? bh? s?mh I see I was contented
Gan eolas marbh Without knowledge of death
Bh? m? ?g san am, I was young then

Anois, t?im buartha Now I am worried
‘s fad ar shi?il an l?. During the course of the day.
Och?n ‘s och?n ?. (Oh sorrow!) [Alas and woe, oh.]

Na laetha geal m’?ige The bright days of my youth
Bh? siad l?n de dh?chas Were full of hope
An bealach m?r a bh? romham anonn The big road that was before us then
Bh? s? i nd?n domh go mbeinn, sl?n, sl?n. Was what was destined to be,
Bye bye…

(Repeat refrain)
