Noche de paz
(Spanish)

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús.
Brilla la estrella de paz,
Brilla la estrella de paz.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Sólo velan en la oscuridad
Los pastores que en el campo están
Y la estrella de Belén,
Y la estrella de Belén.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Sobre el santo niño Jesús
Una estrella esparce su luz,
Brilla sobre el Rey,
Brilla sobre el Rey.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor;
Fieles velando allí en Belén
Los pastores, la madre también,
Y la estrella de paz,
Y la estrella de paz.

Here’s an English translation of the Spanish version:

Night of Peace

Night of peace, night of love,
All around are asleep.
Among the stars that spread their light,
Beautifully announcing the baby Jesus,
Shines the star of peace,
Shines the star of peace.

Night of peace, night of love,
All around are asleep.
Just watch in the dark,
The shepherds that are in the field
And the star of Bethlehem,
And the star of Bethlehem.

Night of peace, night of love,
All around are asleep.
Over the Holy Child Jesus
A star spreads its light,
Shining over the King,
Shining over the King.

Night of peace, night of love,
All around are asleep.
A faithful vigil there in Bethlehem;
The shepherds, the mother too,
And the star of peace,
And the star of peace.
