Táim ag foilsiú an dáin seo "Oíche Nollag" toisc gur maith liom é. Ba chóir go mbeadh sé de ghlanmheabhair ag gach Gael gan trácht ar gach Éireannach.

Tá iarracht d'aistriúchán liteartha curtha agam leis ach tá súil agam go maithfear a laige dom. Tá roinnt leaganacha as canúint na Mumhan ann ("ins an tigh"; " téir")

I am publishing this poem "Christmas Eve" because I like it. Every Irish person should know it by heart. I have attempted a literal translation but I hope I will be forgiven its inadequacy. It includes forms from the Munster dialect which may be unfamiliar to learners.
