Deck the hall

CPDL #'s 00502, 01683, 03660, 04451, 7040, & 18230 all set the following verses:

English.png English text

1.
Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa 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.

2.
See the blazing Yule before us, (fa la la…)
Strike the harp and join the chorus, (fa la la…)
Follow me in merry measure, (fa la la…)
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, (fa la la…)

3.
Fast away the old year passes, (fa la la…)
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, (fa la la…)
Sing we joyous all together, (fa la la…)
Heedless of the wind and weather, (fa la la…)

1.
Ornez la salle avec des branches de houx, fa la la la la
C'est la saison où l'on se réjouit
Vêtons-nous maintenant de beaux habits
Lançons l'ancien hymne de Noël.

2.
Voyez le Noël flamboyant devant nous
Touchons la harpe et tous au refrain
Suivez-moi sur le rythme béni
Tandis que je parle du trésor de Noël.

3.
L'année passée s'éloigne vite
Saluez la nouvelle, gars et filles
Chantons joyeux tous ensemble
Sans souci du vent et du mauvais temps.
 

Soon the hoar old year

This version (c. 1873) by J. Oxenford purports to be a translation of the Welsh lyrics:

English.png English text

1.
Soon the hoar old year must leave us, (fa la la…)
But the parting must not grieve us (fa la la…)
When the new year comes tomorrow (fa la la…)
Let him find no trace of sorrow (fa la la…)

2.
He our pleasures may redouble, (fa la la…)
He may bring us store of trouble, (fa la la…)
Hope the best and gaily meet him, (fa la la…)
With a jovial chorus greet him, (fa la la…)

3.
At his birth, he brings us gladness, (fa la la…)
Ponder not on future sadness, (fa la la…)
Anxious care is now but folly, (fa la la…)
Fill the mead-cup, hand the holly, (fa la la…)
