Do You Hear / Don Oíche Ud I MBeithil Songtext

von Moya Brennan

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
Beidh tagairt faoi ghrian go brách
Don oíche úd i mBeithil
Go dtáinig an Briathar slán
Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha
'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán
Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín
'S an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá

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?
