Auld Lang Syne (The New Year's Anthem)

AULD LANG SYNE

The Robert Burns version

with Scots words translated

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days o’ lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my Dear,

For auld lang syne,

We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We two have run about the hills,

And pulled the daisies fine;

But we’ve wander’d many a weary foot,

Since auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the brook,

From mornin’ sun till dinnertime:

But seas between us broad have roar’d,

Since auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty friend,

And give us a hand o’ thine;

And we’ll take a right goodwill draft,

For auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll buy your pint‐cup,

And surely I’ll buy mine;

And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

Auld Lang Syne - Mariah Carey
