AULD LANG SYNE:

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

Should auld acquaintances be forgot,
An ne'er brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

An' surely ye'll be your pint stowp,
An' surely I'll be mine,
An' we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
An pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne!

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne!

An' there's a hand, my trusty friere,
An' gies a hand o' thine,
An' we'll tak a right guid willie waught
For auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

 

 


Translation:

For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!

Should old friends be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old friends be forgot,
and times gone by?

And surely you'll be in your cups,
And surely I'll be in mine,
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!

We two have run about the hills,
And pulled the wild daisies fine,
But we've wandered many a weary foot
Since times gone by!

We two have swum in the river,
From morning sun till dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since times gone by!

And there's a hand, my trusty brother/friend,
And give me a hand of yours,
And we'll take a hearty drink
For times gone by!

For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!
