I know it’s not Tuesday. Christmas at the end of the week feels weird. But we need music for Christmas. This by Enya is just too lovely. Silent Night in Gaelic.

lyrics if you want to follow along.
Oíche chiúin - Gaeilge
(Irish Gaelic)
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic
Dé
Cách 'na suan, dís araon
Dís is dílse ag faire le
spéis
Naí beag gnaoi-gheal
ceanán tais caomh
Críost ina chodladh go
séimh
Críost ina chodladh go
séimh
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic
Dé
Aoirí ar dtús chuala an
scéal
"Aililiuia"
aingil ag glaoch
Cantain Shuairc i ngar is
i gcéin
Críost ár Slánaitheoir
féin
Críost ár Slánaitheoir
féin
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic
Dé
Mac Dé bhí, gáire a bhéil
Tuar dá rá 's dá lán-chur
i gcéill
Ann gur tháinig tráth
chinn a tséin
Críost a theacht ar an
saol
Críost a theacht ar an
saol ♪
Silent Night - English
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 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
Silent night, night of
God's son
God's Son with a smile on
his face
A sign spoken to be fully
understood
The sweet voice of an
angel heard in the air
Christ is coming into the
world
Christ is coming into the
world
Glory to God in the highest. Christ
has come into the world!
