Enya - Oíche Chiúin (Silent Night) Lyrics

Always thought she was a heathen. Glad to see this from her

Voor Nederland gezongen in het Iers

Oigo esta canción cantada por Enya y me transmite paz y un viaje a mis recuerdos

My favourite version of my favourite carol.

I dont speak the language but I still love this version of the song the best.

Agreed. Also like it in German as well as in Irish and English. Same goes for O Come All Ye Faithful in either English or Latin.

Love this breaks my heart when Enya sings lost my two litttle boys in the space of 4 years , both at Christmas time .

So,so very sorry for your tragic loss.

Very Beatiful !!!

Prefer her lovely big sister but she’s very good 😁

stunning

This is Gail I can't stop crying. I cry at this song every time and this time is no different. I miss my love so very much. 4 years and it still hurts so very much.

Hold on! I did. One has to, really. For the other, if nobody else. The burden is to make invisible people proud of us. Best wishes from me.

Keep your heart open and the blessings will heal both of you...

Go hálainn agus go raibh maith agat as seo. Ní féidir linn ligean don teanga bás a fháil. Tá sé mar chuid de cé muid féin

Been looking for this song for so long

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS UPLOAD AND PARTICULARLY FOR THE ONSCREEN LYRICS WITH WORD-FOR-WORD TRANSLATION OF THE GAELIC. !!!!!
A real treat, today is 1 October 2019.
Am starting to learn (a little) Gaelic from this very video.
Hopefully it will add up to something by Christmas ... :)

Cé bhuil tú

I'm speechless. Simply incredible. 🙏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

It's good that she sings in"Irish Gaelic"the language faces possible extinction in the future due to the fact that only 3% of Ireland's population actually speaks it as their first language!!!Ireland is technically a bilingual country but english is hands down the dominant language of most daily affairs in the country itself etc.

What 19 people voted this down?

What is this language???

Irish Gaelic

First heard two hundred years ago today on 24/12/1818

I was there

Isn't the Irish language beautiful?

God bless you, Enya. This touches all of our souls. This is Christmas to me and it opens my heart.

Damn this is pretty, so very ethereal. Gaelic is a BEAUTIFUL language!

It is not quite so lovely when you have it (the language) beaten into you.
30 years since I set my feet on Irish soil, and I'll never go back.

"Silent Night" (German: "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht") was composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr.....sung here to perfection by enya.

Simple and beautiful, a lot more pleasant than modern over the top renditions

Beautiful!

Enya's first language is Gaelic. She was born in a Gaelic speaking part of Donegal. There is a great interview on youtube with her family in Gaelic. Awesome musical family. I adore Enya.

utterly wonderful :-)

Fantastic. This is my favorite carol and hearing it in Gaelic makes it all the more sentimental.

SOMEBODY RESPOND!!! I’m doing a school project for Christmas in Scotland...is this in Scottish?

It's Irish

Nope it’s Irish :)

It's Irish Gaelic, similar but not the same as Scots Gaelic.

La paz en esta noche es más auténtica oyendo a esta mujer.

Appreciation from year 2018

emosionante cancion , en la hermosa voz de esta gran interprete......

Enya cuts straight to the soul.

Perché hanno tagliato gli auguri? andate su https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7ThedzFKdM

Una voce angelica e gentile. Una cosa mi ha colpito: la sua dolce somiglianza a volti italiani o francesi o balcanici mostra quanto sia assurda questa divisione e separazione. Buon natale a tutti :-)

Beautiful voice!

Celestiale

+ God bless & Merry Christmas 2017!+

I am sure one line she sings Jeesus Jeesus fart in his face at 0.32 seconds in

Christopher Smallbone she says dís is daoilse which is pronounced like deesh is deelsha so it sounds like Jesus

Maravilhosa! Deusa!!! Anjo dos Anjos!!!!

I could listen to Enya all day long, such a beautiful singer, and when she sing in Gaeilge, it really great

La Voz Más Tierna y Agradable Que Llrva Un Mensaje En Cada Tema que Uno Escucha Felicitaciones Enya y Lindisimo "Noche De Paz"

such a wonderful singer

I'm not very a very religious person, but her voice could make me believe in anything. She's truly the one and only voice that makes music more than music.

prekrasny hlas jej piesne potešia každe vnimave ucho a otvorene srdce

Piercingly beautiful. Thank you both for uploading, and for including the lyrics (and translation).

Niech wprowadzi nas choć trochę w Świąteczny nastrój :) Coś cudownego........ <3

Wooahh! Posee una voz privilegiada su voz es como oír la música de las esferas una voz celestial que solamente aquellos que tienen el oído mágico desarrollado pueden oír la celestial, Beethoven, Morzart , Chapín y otros grandes maestro tenían ese oído desarrollado , pero Enya posee una voz angelical su música es un extasis que deleita los sentidos es sublime y relajante. Dios bendiga esas cuerdas vocales magicas.

This is a classic german christmas song.

Wasn't the composer Austrian?.

This version is gaeilge though.

Does not look like anything I know, is unique, very special ...

Peace on earth to all men.

Angelic to hear in any language!

I'm also separated from my family. I have an old tree that I wrapped a string of lights around. I am so blessed to have it. I hope for you a blessed Christmas. May the memories of Christmas past be a gift to keep you warm. Peace.

God works in mysterious ways!

how nice!!!!! but what language is this?? always always loved Enya's music :)

It is Enya's native language of Gaelic.

splendid.....

Is it weird that I'm an atheist and I'm listening to this, in October?

Not weird at all, for one who has an open heart...

Tingles up the spine and a tear in the eye. What a beautiful rendition. Definitely good for the soul. Thank you Enya, may you live long and prosper. You bring so much joy to we mere mortals.

@scarab1518 It's the same lyrics as the English version, just translated into Irish :)

Even though i can't understand the language her voice is like magic and talks to the heart.....

Even though you are far away from home and all alone, and there are no lights on a non-existent Christmas tree, someone is thinking of you...may next year be brighter, fairer, better in every way for you Carmarthan415....and I'm glad that YouTube and lovely Enya are here as a small light of joy to you..

Enya's voice has no boundaries. She can sing in any language and still makes you feel in heaven.

This Christmas season, im away from my family, all by myself, no tree, no festivity...
at least theres christmas music on youtube :)

WONDERFUL...FEEL THE PEACE OF MIND!!!

Great voice !!!!!!!

Wonderful
