Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
R:
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For days auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine meaning [pulled daisies]
But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt [foot]
Sin' auld lang syne. [long ago]
R...
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine meaning: dinner time
But seas between us braid hae roar'd [broad]
Sin' auld lang syne.
R...
And there's a hand, my trusty feire
And gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught
For auld lang syne.
R...
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
R...
