Auld lang syne the new ye
"Auld Lang Syne" is a traditional Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788. The title translates to "Old Long Since" or "Long, Long Ago," and the song is often sung to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one.
Here are the lyrics:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne!
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne! We two hae run about the braes, And pou'd the gowans fine; But we've wandered mony a weary fit, Sin' auld lang syne.
We two hae paidl'd i' the burn, Frae mornin' 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 gude-willie waught, For auld lang syne!
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne!
The song is often sung on New Year's Eve, and its themes of nostalgia, friendship, and the passing of time are particularly relevant on this occasion.
