about

"Deck the Halls" (originally titled "Deck the Hall") is a traditional Christmas carol. The melody is Welsh, dating back to the sixteenth century,[1] and belongs to a winter carol, "Nos Galan", while the English lyrics, written by the Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant, date to 1862.

lyrics

(Fa la), fa la (la la)
(Fa la), fa la la la la la

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
This is a season to be jolly
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
Don we now our gay apparel
(Fa-la-la, la-la-la)
Oh, troll the ancient Yuletide carol

(Fa la), fa la (la la)
(Fa la), fa la la la la la
(Fa la), fa la (la la)
(Fa la), fa la la la

See the blazing Yule before us.
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
Come on and strike the harp and join the chorus.
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la)
Follow me in every measure.
(Fa-la-la, la-la-la)
Oh, while I tell of Yuletide treasure.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la
Don we now a chute apparel
Fa-la-la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la.

Fa la, la la la la la (5x)

Fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la, oh, whoa
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la-la-la

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
‘Tis the season to be jolly

Follow me in every measure
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.

Fa la, la la la la la (Repeat ad lib and fade)
