《Deck The Halls》,中文《装饰大厅》,是一首传统圣诞节颂歌。其旋律源自16世纪威尔士,以及1794年的威尔士新年音乐-Nos Galan。
英文歌词则在1862年出版,由苏格兰音乐家Thomas Oliphant创作。首次出版于1862年,收录于约翰•汤玛士的Welsh Melodies之第二卷。该书共有四卷,包含Deck the Halls威尔士语歌词,由John Jones作词。直得注意的是,Deck the Halls中的“Deck”,是指动词“装饰”,而非名词“甲板”。
Deck The Halls歌词:
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!
Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Troul the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
See the flowing bowl before us,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Strike the harp, and join in chorus:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
While I sing of beauty's 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!
Laughing quaffing all together,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
