| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
|
Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear? |
|
|
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy "Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy? Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea" |
|
|
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king "Do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king? Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold" |
|
| Do you hear what I hear? | |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | To that night in Bethlehem |
| Beidh tagairt faoi ghrian go brách | Forever under the sun |
| Don oíche úd i mBeithil | To that night in Bethlehem |
| Go dtáinig an Briathar slán | That the word safely came |
| Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha | There are red-hot edges on the sky |
| 'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán | And the ground in a white covering |
| Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín | Look at baby Jesus without a crib |
| 'S an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá | And the Virgin in delighted love |
|
Said the king to the people everywhere "Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light" |
|
|
Listen to what I say Do you know what I know? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear? |
