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.***
