I have seen an English version which begins more closely sounding to the German:
"Still the night, holy the night..." 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you all so far. I just can't wait to see the look on the face of my family when I start to sing it in Greek.
Not sure I will try to do the Hawaiian version though! Edited by Ogrim on 10 December 2013 at 9:54pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

While waiting for more contribution, I'll add one myself. Here is the version in Romansh (Rumantsch Sursilvan):
Clara notg de Nadal! Giu dal tron celestial eis vegnius, affon divin, in pursepen, o car bambin, has per tgina vuliu, has per tgina vuliu! Biala notg de Nadal! Bethlehem aud’ual aunghels gloria Diu cantar, ils pasturs van per mirar il Salvader dil mund, il Salvader dil mund. Sontga notg de Nadal! Fegl de Diu immortal eis per nus vegnius carstgaun. Christus, tonschas a nus il maun gidas enta parvis, gidas enta parvis. And the literal translation: Bright Christmas night! down from the heavenly throne Came you, divine child, a manger, dear child, you chose as cradle, you chose as cradle! Beautiful Christmas night! Bethlehem is listening, as angels sing praise to God, the shepherds go to see the Saviour of the world, the Saviour of the world! Holy Christmas night! God's immortal son has become man for us. Christ, you hold out your hand and guide us into paradise, and guide us into paradise. Edited by Ogrim on 11 December 2013 at 3:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
