A chara, Does anyone out there know the lyrics to the Irish carol, "Don Oiche ud mBeithel" (that night in Bethlehem)? I have several recordings, but as Irish is not even my third language I would like to see it in gaelige, and seem to have exhausted every other avenue I could think of. Thank you very much in advance!

Laura

A Laura, seo duit,

Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil

Don oíche úd i mBeithil, beidh tagairt ar ghréin go brách,
Don oíche úd i mBeithil go dtáinig an Bhréithir slán;
Tá gríosghrua ar spéarthaibh 's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán;
Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín, 's an Mhaighdean 'Á dhiúl le grá

Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe go nglacann na haoirí scáth
Nuair in oscailt ghil na spéire tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil;
Céad glóire anois don Athair i bhFlaitheasaibh thuas go hard!
Is feasta fós ar talamh d'fhearaibh dea-mhéin' siocháin!
