Ruhe, heilige Nacht!
Dämmerig scheint der Mond.
Süß ist, o Mädchen, dein Kuß
Während der ruhigen Nacht.
Freundin, im Dunkel der Nacht
Wie kann ich traurig noch sein?
Hell wie die Sterne bist du
Während der ruhigen Nacht.
Freundin, die Sterne sind schön.
Und auch die Trauer ist süß;
Du bist das Liebste mir doch
Während der heiligen Nacht.

Holy night
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Be calm, holy night!
Dimly shines the moon.
Sweet is your kiss, O maiden,
during the calm night.
My friend, in the darkness of the night
how can I still be sad?
You are bright as the stars
during the calm night.
My friend, the stars are fair,
and sadness is also sweet;
but for me, you are the loveliest
during the holy night.
