Title: Translation please?
Post by: RoAR on March 13, 2011, 06:12PM
Does anyone know where I can find a translation of the lyrics of "don oíche úd i mbeithil"? I heard this song and loved it...almost...I don't actually love songs until I know what it's talking about! Can anyone help?

I sing of a night in Bethlehem
A night as bright as dawn
I sing of that night in Bethlehem
The night the Word was born

The skies are glowing gaily
The earth in white is dressed
See Jesus in the cradle
Drink deep in His mother's breast

And there on a lonely hillside
The shepherds bow down in fear
When the heavens open brightly
And God's message rings out so clear

Glory now to the Father
In all the heavens high
And peace to His friends on earth below
Is all the angels cry

Thanks! I was wondering what they were saying. This is actually my favorite Celtic Woman Christmas song, although it ends sooner than I would like.

  I have always liked this one too.  Meav and Chloe do a beautiful job.   :)
