Silent Night
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Oh, sleep in heavenly peace
Ooh ooh, ohh
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia, yeah
Christ the Savior is born
Ooh, Christ the Savior is born, yeah
Ooh oh yeah, ohh yeah
Noche de paz, noche de amor
Todo duerme en derredor
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niño Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Oh, brilla la estrella de paz
Ohh ooh, oh oh
Christ the Savior is born
Oh, Christ the Savior is born
Ohh yeah yeah, mmm
The song "Silent Night" is a classic Christmas carol that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The song begins by painting a serene picture of the night when Jesus was born. The lyrics create an atmosphere of peacefulness and calmness by portraying the night as silent and bright with the infant Jesus sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms. The second verse shifts the focus to the shepherds who were tending their flocks nearby. The sight of the heavenly glory and the singing of the angels terrified the shepherds, but they rejoiced upon hearing the news of the birth of the Savior.
The third verse of the song is sung in Spanish, which is a unique feature of this version. The lyrics do not deviate from the main theme of the song and continue to celebrate the peaceful and joyous night of Jesus' birth. The translation of the lyrics in English reads, "Night of peace, night of love, everything sleeps all around. Among the stars that shed their light, beautiful announcing the child Jesus. The star of peace shines, oh, the star of peace shines." The song ends with the repeated chorus proclaiming the birth of the Savior.

I don't care what critics say about her over singing in the Christmas album. This album is one of my favorites! It really shows her vocal abilities!
Brandon Lee
Indeed, and this song is always played by Christmas time in Latinamerica
Argelis Torres
Most of the people now is talking about over singing but back then it was just the proof that she can sing everything... cuz nobody can do this that does not mean is bad.... in fact..this is called envy.... thats it!!! Bring or mention me just one american singer right now who can do or sing in 2 language so good as her... !!! Please ... weather you don't like her.... we have to admite that she is and she will be the best of this generation. We can ask the old real singer and their answer will be the same. Xtina is something else.... that kind of person who comes just one time per century as you said. 😊
