auld lang syne

Auld lang syne is the poem written by a Scottish poet Robert Burns and is on number 6 of the Google trend today. Written in 1788 and was set to be one of most common tune in English Speaking countries

Let us sing together for the farewell of 2010.





In some countries, it is sang to welcome a new year. However I feel it is more appropriate to sing as a farewell to the 2010, as the lyrics meant it for the "old time sake".


It remind me of the farewell gathering at the end of my school years in 1968. I did not and still am not able to remember the lyrics.


AULD LANG SYNE LYRICS
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 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 tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
