Auld Lang Syne
by Robert Burns – 1759 – 1796



Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to min`?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld 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 twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wandered mony a weary foot
Sin’ auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne . . .

We twa hae paidled in the burn,
From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin’ auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne . . .

And there’s a hand, my trusty fierce,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine:
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

For 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.

For auld lang syne . . .



Aiblins – perhaps

A kennin – a little

Gowans – daisies

I wish you a very happy new year!
