Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alles schläft, einsam wacht nur das traute hochheilige Paar
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Hirten erst kund gemacht
Christ der Retter ist da
Christ der Retter ist da
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht lieb aus Deinem Göttlichen Mund
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'
Christ in Deiner Geburt
Christ in Deiner Geburt
The lyrics to "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" or "Silent Night, Holy Night" convey a serene and holy atmosphere. The song first describes a peaceful night where everything is asleep, but only the intimate and holy couple is awake. They watch over the tender and curly-haired boy (presumably Baby Jesus) as he peacefully sleeps in heavenly rest. The second verse refers to the shepherds who were the first to hear the news of Jesus' birth. The angels' Hallelujah resounds loudly from far and near, announcing the arrival of Christ the Savior. The final verse expresses the joy of the birth of God's son. The lyrics depict the divine laughter coming from Jesus' mouth, bringing the moment of salvation to mankind.

Estimada Dolores: sería un placer que nos regalaras una diferenciación entre Menschheit y Meinschlichkeit. Aunque en clases de Alemán nos dieron un barniz, sería exquisito leer una segunda apreciación de ambas definiciones!
