Wexford Carol

English translation

Wexford Carol

Ó, tagaig' uile is adhraigí

Oh, come all and adore

An leanbh cneasta sa chró 'na luí

The kind baby in the stable lying down

Is cuimhnígí ar ghrá an Rí

And remember the love of the King*

A thug dár saoradh anocht an Naí.

Who gave the infant tonight for our liberation.

'S a Mhuire Mháthair i bParrthas Dé,

And Mother Mary in God's Paradise,

Ar chlann bhocht Éabha guigh 'nois go caomh,

Pray gently for Eve's poor family,

Is doras an chró ná dún go deo

And never close the stable door

Go n-adhram' feasta Mac Mhuire Ógh.

That I may henceforth worship the Son of Young Mary.

I mBeithil thoir i lár na hoích'

In eastern Bethlehem in the middle of the night

Ba chlos an deascéala d'aoirí,

The good news was heard by shepherds

Go follas don saol ón spéir go binn

Revealing to the world from the sky sweetly

Bhí aingle 'canadh ó rinn go rinn.

angels were singing from star to star**

Gluaisig' go beo, dúirt Aingeal Dé,

Move quickly, said God's Angel,

Go Beithil sall is gheobhaidh sibh É

To the far side of Bethlehem and you'll find him

'Na luí go séimh i mainséar féir,

lying softly in manger grass,

Siúd É an Meisias a ghráigh an saol.

That is the Messiah that the world loves.***
