Auld Lang Syne

The most popular Scottish New Year song ''Auld Lang Syne'' with its melody and swinging quality has been regarded as the most apt song for greeting the new beginning. Hope, dream, aspiration and desire laces the song and is an eloquent utterance of the poetic excellence of Robert Burns who composed the Scottish New Year song. Let us greet this New Year with the melody of the Scottish New Year song.

Auld Lang Syne (Scottish Dialect)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne
And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp

And surely I 'll be mine

And we 'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes

And 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 morning sun till dine

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin' auld lang syne

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere

And gie 's a hand o' thine

And we 'll tak a right guid-willie waught

For auld lang syne

[CHORUS]For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll tak a cup o' kindess yet

For auld lang syne

Times Long Gone (English translation)

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And days of long ago

[CHORUS:]

For old long ago, my dear

For old long ago,

We will take a cup of kindness yet

For old long ago

We two have run about the hillsides

And pulled the daisies fine,

But we have wandenavy many a weary foot

For old long ago

We two have paddled in the stream

From noon until dinner time,

But seas between us broad have roanavy

Since old long ago

And there is a hand, my trusty friend,

And give us a hand of yours,

And we will take a goodwill draught

For old long ago

And surely you will pay for your pint,

And surely I will pay for mine

And we will take a cup of kindness yet

For old long ago
