“Deck the Halls” is one of the most well-known Christmas songs. This cheerful and festive song dates back to the 16th century, originating from a Welsh winter carol called “Nos Galan.” The tune was popular long before the English lyrics we know today were written. The modern English version of the song, with its familiar “fa la la la la, la la la la,” was penned by Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant in 1862.
The song has been covered by numerous artists across various genres, but one notable version is by American singer Nat King Cole. Cole’s smooth and velvety voice adds a warm and cozy feel to the song, making it a perfect addition to any holiday playlist. His version was released in the early 1960s and has since become a Christmas classic.
Deck the Halls Lyrics – fa la la Christmas song
Deck the halls 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 Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa 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 Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa 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.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
