T'IS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY
« on: December 25, 2014, 05:07:10 AM »
Deck the halls (originally nos galan)
(In welsh, the original language it came from):
    O mor gynnes mynwes meinwen,
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:
    O mor fwyn yw llwyn meillionen,
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:
    O mor felus yw'r cusanau,
    [instrumental flourish]
    Gyda serch a mwynion eiriau
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:

   
Translation:
    Oh! how soft my fair one's bosom,
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:
    Oh! how sweet the grove in blossom,
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:
    Oh! how blessed are the blisses,
    [instrumental flourish]
    Words of love, and mutual kisses,
    fal lal lal lal lal lal lal lal la:


Deck the halls (modern):

    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 la.
    Troul the ancient Christmas carol,
    Fa la 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 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 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 la.
    Heedless of the wind and weather,
    Fa la la la la la la la la.
Autism can allow so much joy, and at the same time sadness to be seen. Our world is weird, and full of contradiction everywhere, yet somehow at moments seems to come together, and make near perfect sense.
