Sainte nuit, c\u00e9l\u00e8bre chant de Christmas<\/a>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e pour la premi\u00e8re fois le 24 d\u00e9cembre 1818 dans l\u2019\u00e9glise Saint-Nicolas d\u2019Oberndorf en Autriche. Joseph Mohr, pr\u00eatre de la paroisse, aurait \u00e9crit les paroles de la chanson deux ans plus t\u00f4t, lui donnant alors la forme d\u2019un po\u00e8me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Although one can only speculate as to why the poem was turned into a Christmas carol, legend has it that the church organ was in such a sorry state that no one could play it. Joseph Mohr then entrusted Franz Xaver Gruber, the substitute organist, with the task of writing a melody suitable for two solo voices, with choir and guitar accompaniment.<\/p>\n

Also known as Silent Night, or Stille Nacht in German, this hymn was initially sung primarily within the circle of the two men. It then spread to Tyrol in 1819, then to Leipzig in 1832, before being transported to New York under the title Silent Night, Holy Night. It was not until 1866 that it was revived in Salzburg, a neighboring parish of Oberndorf.<\/p>\n

Holy Night eventually crossed all continents, and today some estimate that there are as many as three hundred translations into various languages and dialects. However, opinions differ on this subject, with others putting the number at around one hundred.<\/p>\n

Christmas Song Lyrics (Different Versions)<\/p>\n

Sweet night, holy night!
\nIn the heavens! The star shines.
\nThe announced mystery is accomplished
\nThis child on the straw asleep,
\nIt's infinite love! {x2}<\/p>\n

Holy child, gentle lamb!
\nHow big he is! How handsome he is!
\nHear the pipes resonate
\nShepherds leading their flocks
\nTo his humble cradle! {x2}<\/p>\n

It is towards us that he runs,
\nIn a gift with no return!
\nFrom this world ignorant of love,
\nWhere his stay begins today,
\nMay he be King forever! {x2}<\/p>\n

What a welcome for a King!
\nNo shelter, no roof!
\nIn his crib he is shivering with cold
\nO sinner, without waiting for the cross,
\nJesus<\/a> souffre pour toi ! {x2}<\/p>\n

Peace to all! Glory to heaven!
\nGlory to the maternal breast,
\nWho for us, on this Christmas day,
\nGave birth to the eternal Savior,
\nWhat was Israel waiting for! {x2}<\/p>\n

Other version<\/p>\n

Silent Night Holy Night
\nEverything is quiet and silent
\nIn a poor stable
\nSleep, adorable child
\nFrom a Heavenly Rest
\nOf a Heavenly rest!
\n-2-
\nSilent night, Holy night
\nThe banks followed
\nFrom the star the sweet clarity
\nA thousand voices sang in the night
\nA Savior is born to us
\nA Savior is born to us!
\n-3-
\nSilent night, Holy night
\nSweet Jesus you smile
\nAnd your lovely mouth
\nWith an ineffable smile
\nThe sky opens between us.<\/p>\n

German version<\/p>\n

Still Night<\/p>\n

Still night! Heilige Nacht!
\nAlles schl\u00e4fteinsam wacht
\nNun das Traute high-speed Paar
\nHolder Knabeim lockigen Haar,
\nSchlaf'im himmlischer Ruh',
\nSchlaf'im himmlischer Ruh'!<\/p>\n

Still night! Heilige Nacht!
\nHirten erst kund gemacht,
\nThrough the Angel, hallelujah,
\nT\u00f6nt es laut von fern und nah':
\nChrist the Retter, is da!<\/p>\n

Still night! Heilige Nacht!
\nGottes Sohn, o wie lacht,
\nLieb' aus deinem g\u00f6ttlichen Mund
\nHere are some of the things that await you:
\nChrist is deiner Geburt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
