Auld Lang Syne
English Translation (Excerpt)
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,

for auld lang syne ...

Auld Lang Syne
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many English-speaking countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. The song's Scots title may be translated into English literally as "old long since," or more idiomatically, "long long ago" or "days gone by." The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (1570-1638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757), and James Watson (1711) as well as older folk songs predating Burns. In his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time." In Scots syne is pronounced like the English word sign and the trigonometric sine function.

- Gosh, I feel terrible realizing I had never known all the words to this song. That could be because everytime I've heard it, it was a little slurred ;) Thank you and Happy New Year!
