Deck the Halls
The Carols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Courtney Simon Deck the halls with rounds of tear gas
Fa la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the people to be treated
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Shoot the rubber bullets at us
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Rape our sisters and our brothers
Fa la la la la, la la la la

See the stinging smoke before us
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Strike with batons and live ammo
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Aim at your head and hit your chest
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Hong Kong police are real ter'rists
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Fast away, our youngs have passed
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Hail the bodies, burn to ashes
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Stand with Hong Kong, can you help us
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Ask your senators, co-sponsor it
Fa la la la la, la la la la
