English: Songs Deck the Halls | English | |
| Deck the halls with boughs of holly, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Tis the season to be jolly, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Don we now our gay apparel, | |
| Fa la la, la la la, la la la. | |
| Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| See the blazing Yule before us, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Strike the harp and join the chorus. | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Follow me in merry measure, | |
| Fa la la, la la la, la la la. | |
| While I tell of Yuletide treasure, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Fast away the old year passes, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, | |
| Fa la la, la la la, la la la. | |
| Sing we joyous, all together, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Heedless of the wind and weather, | |
| Fa la la la la la, la la la la. | |
