Silent Night Lyrics & Translation is an all time popular Christmas song.
“Silent Night” (“Stille Nacht” in its original German) is one of the most beloved and widely sung Christmas carols around the world.
The song originated as a poem written by Joseph Franz Mohr, a pastor in early 19th-century Austria. In 1818, facing the urgent need for a carol for the Christmas Eve midnight mass, Mohr turned to his friend Franz Xaver Gruber.
The version of “Silent Night” we sing today differs slightly from Gruber’s original.
The most commonly sung English version of the carol was translated and published in 1859 by John Freeman Young, an Episcopal priest. Young adapted three verses from Mohr’s original six, creating the rendition that remains a Christmas staple to this day.
Silent Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
[Verse 2]
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
[Verse 3]
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Silent Night Lyrics (Spanish)
[Verso 1]
Noche de paz, noche sagrada
Todo está en calma, todo es brillante
Alrededor de la Virgen, Madre y el Niño
Niño Sagrado, tan compasivo y bondadoso
Duerme en la paz celestial
Duerme en la paz celestial
[Verso 2]
Noche de paz, noche sagrada
Pastores tiemblan ante la visión
Glorias fluyas desde el cielo lejano
Huestes celestiales cantan Aleluya
Cristo el Salvador ha nacido
Cristo el Salvador ha nacido
[Verso 3]
Noche de paz, noche sagrada
Hijo de Dios, la luz pura de amor
Rayos de luz de tu rostro sagrado
Con el amanecer de la gracia redentora
Señor Jesús, en tu nacimiento
Señor Jesús, en tu nacimiento
Silent Night Lyrics (Italian)
[Strofa 1]
Notte silenziosa, notte santa
Tutto è calmo, tutto è luminoso
Intorno a te la Vergine, la Madre e il Bambino
Santo Bambino così tenero e mite
Dormi in pace celeste
Dormi in pace celeste
[Strofa 2]
Notte silenziosa, notte santa
I pastori tremano alla vista
Le glorie fluiscono dal cielo lontano
Le schiere celesti cantano Alleluia
È nato Cristo il Salvatore
È nato Cristo il Salvatore
[Strofa 3]
Notte silenziosa, notte santa
Figlio di Dio, luce pura d’amore
Raggi radiosi dal tuo volto santo
Con l’alba della grazia redentrice
Gesù Signore, alla tua nascita
Gesù Signore, alla tua nascita
