Auld lang syne for New Year!

Anyone going out on New Years Eve and who doesn't know the words to the most famous 'friendship' song in the world, well here it is. Plenty time to rehearse your lines!!

Auld Lang Syne

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 o' 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.
For auld, & chorus.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, & chorus.

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.
For auld, & chorus.

And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, & chorus.

 

Thanks Grumbles. Do you think you could translate that into English.

 

Thank You Grumbles, now what does Auld Lang Syne mean? LOL

 

...For enquiring minds, that need to know.

Thats the fun part - singing the song when Merry LOL

Everyone just pretends to know the words, even here in Scotland

Happy new year :drink

 

Looks like the way Robbie Burns writes. Do you Scots really talk like that or do you do it just to confuse the rest of the world? LOL

Anyway, Have a good and safe New Year's Eve, Grumbles. And all you others, too.

 

Its written in Old Scots, we speak in a stranger language than that! Difficult for us to understand half of it too!!

I could translate it, but then it wouldn't be any fun to try and sing LOL

All the best Musksnipe :drink

 

Thank You
