The original, Welsh, version of “Deck the Halls” written in 1862 is beautiful!

“Goreu pleser ar nos galan,
Tŷ a thân a theulu diddan,
Calon lân a chwrw melyn,
Pennill mwyn a llais y delyn,

The best pleasure on new year’s eve,
Is house and fire and a pleasant family,
A pure heart and brown ale,
A gentle song and the voice of the harp”
