🤷♀️Who knew? Apparently-w/the exception of the "Fa la la la la" part - we've all been singing the wrong lyrics to "Deck the Halls" which appears to be a Welsh "Auld Lang Syne"https://t.co/grguAOyce6— 🎼AdagioForStrings🎻 (@adagioforstring) December 9, 2018

What we know in English as a Christmas coral "Deck the Halls" seems to be a mistranslation of the Welsh equivalent of the Scottish New Year's tune "Auld Lanf Syne".
