Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
– Emphemeni amahholo nge amagatsha holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
‘Tis the season to be jolly
– ‘Lesi yisikhathi esijabulisayo
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
– Don thina manje izingubo zethu gay
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la, ila-la-la, ila-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
– I-troll i-yule-tide carol yasendulo
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
See the blazing Yule before us
– Bheka I-yule evuthayo phambi kwethu
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
– Shaya ihabhu bese ujoyina iqembu labaculi
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
– Ngilandele ngesilinganiso esijabulisayo
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la, ila-la-la, ila-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
– Ngesikhathi ngikhuluma ngengcebo Yaseyule-tide
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Fast away the old year passes
– Ngokushesha kudlula unyaka omdala
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
– Dumisani unyaka omusha, bafana namantombazane
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
– Sihlabelele sijabule, sonke ndawonye
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la, ila-la-la, ila-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
– Ukungazinaki umoya nesimo sezulu
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
– I-fa-la-la-la, ila-la-la-la
