And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of 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 surely I'll buy mine
And we'll raise a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne
For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne
We'll raise our pint of kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne
We've run about the slopes, and found a squarewave and cursed the line
May all your functions lead you home and be as simple as the sine
For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne
We'll drink a cup of bourbon 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 good right will draught, for auld lang syne
For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne
We'll drink to remember our strength and love, for Auld Lang Syne
The song "Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in the 1700s. The lyrics talk about the importance of remembering old friendships and good times, even if they have been forgotten. The first stanza addresses the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten, to which the response is a resounding "no." The phrase "auld lang syne," which means "old times' sake," is repeated throughout the song as a reminder of the value of past memories.
The second stanza encourages the continuation of old traditions by joining together for a drink of kindness. The third stanza acknowledges the changing of times and experiences in life, but maintains the importance of keeping those old memories alive. The fourth stanza is a nod to the simplicity of life and the need to take joy in the small things. Finally, the last stanza offers a sentiment of true friendship, finalizing the message of the song that no matter how much time has passed, old friends and their memories will always hold a special place in our hearts.
