Robert Burns ~ Auld Lang Syne


An adaptation of the Robert Burns poem that is fairly close to the original, sung by the Scottish folk singer Dougie MacLean

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and days of auld lang syne?

    CHORUS:
    For auld lang syne, my dear,
    for auld lang syne,
    we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
    for days of auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d many a weary fit,
since days of auld lang syne.

And we twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
since days of auld lang syne.

    CHORUS

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.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie's a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.

    CHORUS

    CHORUS



Happy New Year's Eve!
