Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht

My unpoetical but painfully accurate translation:
Silent night, holy night. Everything sleeps. Only the trusting (or "trustworthy" or even "avowed"), highly-blessed couple wake - lovely little boy with curly hair. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.


As a child I thought we were singing "Hol der Knabe ..." which means "get the boy." Ah, lovely child hood!

A sweet, delicate and heavenly peace to all!
