Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cnd never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot?
cnd auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
We too have run about the hills
cnd 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
There's a hand my trusted friend
cnd give me a hand of thine
cnd we'll take a rack of bitter 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
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
The lyrics of "Auld Lang Syne" by André Rieu and The André Rieu Strauss Orchestra are deeply reflective and nostalgic, touching upon themes of friendship, remembrance, and the passage of time. The song begins by questioning whether old acquaintances should be forgotten and if they should never be brought to mind. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the importance of remembering and honoring the connections we have formed with others over time.
The phrase "auld lang syne" in Scottish Gaelic translates to "old long since" in English, referring to times gone by and the memories shared with loved ones. The lyrics express a sentiment of looking back on the past with fondness and appreciation, acknowledging the experiences and relationships that have shaped our lives. This reflection on the past is a common theme in New Year's Eve celebrations, as we bid farewell to the old year and look forward to the new.
As the song continues, it speaks of running about the hills and picking daisies, painting a picture of carefree moments and simpler times shared with friends. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the weariness that comes with the passage of time, symbolized by the many weary footsteps taken since those carefree days of "auld lang syne." This contrast between past joys and present realities adds depth to the song's message and evokes a sense of bittersweet nostalgia.
The final verses of the song emphasize the importance of friendship and the enduring bond between kindred spirits. The image of clasping hands with a trusted friend symbolizes solidarity and support through life's challenges. The mention of taking a cup of kindness and sharing in both the joys and sorrows of life encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and fellowship that the song celebrates. Ultimately, "Auld Lang Syne" reminds us to cherish the memories of the past, hold dear the connections we have forged, and look forward to a future filled with hope and companionship.

What a beautiful song. It's a piece of art.
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I'll buy mine!
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night
The seas between us Lord and swell
Since the days of auld lang syne
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
