Douce Nuit Sainte Nuit Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Douce Nuit Sainte Nuit by Dalida from Italian to English.
Douce nuit, sainte nuit
Silent night, holy night
Tout est calme, plus de bruit
Everything is calm, no more noise
C'est Noël et là-bas dans le ciel
It's Christmas and over there in the sky
Une étoile d'un éclat irréel
A star of an unreal glow
Brille au loin sur le monde
Shines in the distance on the world
Comme un beau rêve infini
Like a beautiful infinite dream
Douce nuit, sainte nuit
Silent night, holy night
Il est né à minuit
He was born at midnight
Dans l'étable au milieu des bergers
In the stable among the shepherds
Et depuis l'univers a chanté
And since then the universe has sung
C'est Noël, c'est Noël
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Que la Paix soit éternelle
May Peace be eternal

Did you like this lyrics translation?
irréel — unreal / ethereal
Irréel translates to "unreal" or "ethereal". It's a beautiful and evocative adjective that goes beyond simply saying something isn't real; it suggests a quality that is almost magical or otherworldly.
In this classic Christmas carol, the word is used to describe the glow of a star in the night sky: "Une étoile d'un éclat irréel" (A star with an unreal glow). It perfectly captures the mystical and wondrous atmosphere of Christmas Eve, making the star's light seem divinely beautiful and extraordinary.
