Translation:
Silent Night
Silent night, night of God's son.
Soundly in slumber, the pair together
The pair and love, watching with affection
The small bright beautiful child,
darling little one.
Christ, calmly asleep.
Christ, calmly asleep.
Silent night, night of God's son.
Shepherds first heard the tale
The angels crying out Alleluia.
Lovely chanting near and far.
Christ, the saviour himself.
Christ, the saviour himself.
