AULD LANG SYNE
Words adapated from a traditional song
by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!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!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 syneMeanings

Aww. You used his nickname. *sniffle*
ITS NOT THE LYRICS TO AUD LANG SYNE THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO ME, BUT RATHER WHAT THE SONG ACTUALLY TRANSLATES TO IN ENGLISH AS I KNOW IT.
Happy New Year All…
Happy New Year!!!
Rabbie wasn’t his nickname, Rabbie or Rab is how we say Robert in Scotland.
