Auld Lang Syne Video (MV)




"Auld Lang Syne" (Scots pronunciation: [ˈɔːl(d) lɑŋ ˈsəi̯n]) is a Scottish song. In the English-speaking world, it is traditionally sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve/Hogmanay.

The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional pentatonic tune, which has since become standard. "Auld Lang Syne" is listed as numbers 6294 and 13892 in the Roud Folk Song Index.

The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago", "days gone by", "times long past" or "old times". Consequently, "For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times".

In modern times, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "in the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "once upon a time" in his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language.

Auld Lang Syne Lyrics




Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And old lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We two have run about the slopes
And picked the daisies fine
But we've wandered many a weary foot
Since auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
Since auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne




[Burns' original Scots verse]

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my jo
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 take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak 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 wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
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

For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne



[Based off the ballad "Old Long Syne" printed in 1711]

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot
And never thought upon
The flames of Love extinguished
And fully past and gone
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold
That loving Breast of thine
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne

On Old long syne my Jo
On Old long syne
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne
