The title of this lullaby is Tàladh Chriosd and is also known as Christ Child's Lullaby. It is one of a very few Scottish Gaelic Christmas songs.
Lyrics:
Mo ghaol, mo ghràdh, is mfheudail thu
M ionntas ùr is m èibhneas thu
Mo mhacan àlainn ceutach thu
Chan fhiù mi fhèin bhith d dhàil
Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia, aleluia
My love, my dear, my darling boy
My holy treasure and my joy
My radiant sun, my Lord of Lords
Let me be worthy now
Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia, aleluia
Asses sleep and oxen sigh
Safe within my arms you lie
Blessed am I to hold you near
And feel your beating heart
Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia, aleluia
(When singing this song I would probably say replace 'asses' with 'donkeys.')
