Hi,
It's on the Angela Gheorghiu album of Christmas carols:

All is calm
Explanation:
Hi Simon,

Again, this another popular Christmas carol.

Lin means at peace, calm. It's a play on the word 'lin', so meaning that everything is calm and quiet, but the phrase doesn't have a direct translation.

A British equivalent could definitely be 'Silent Night'.

Asker: Thanks, so does "linu" mean "all"? I think the -i is the verb TO BE, isn't it?
