Auld Lang Syne
Irish All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
In 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 I’ll get the next of wine
And we'll have some more while we’re here
For 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
We have roamed the mountains here
Valleys and streams so fine
We’ve seen the flowers bloom all year
In days of auld lang syne
So take my hand, my dearest friend
Let’s wander through the pines
At least until the fireworks end
For 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
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
In days of auld lang syne?
This new year will be divine
Like days of auld lang syne
The lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne" by Irish All-Stars reflect on the passing of time and the importance of cherishing old friendships and memories. The phrase "auld lang syne" roughly translates to "old long since" or "days gone by," emphasizing the theme of nostalgia and sentimental reflection.
The song begins with a question, asking if old acquaintances should be forgotten and left behind. It prompts the listener to consider whether it is right to let go of the memories and connections from the past. The repetition of this question emphasizes the importance of remembering and valuing these relationships.
The chorus reinforces the idea that for the sake of "auld lang syne" or old times, the singer and their dear companion will share a cup of kindness. It emphasizes the importance of kindness and gratitude in maintaining long-lasting friendships.
Throughout the song, the lyrics also emphasize the beauty of nature and the joy of experiencing it together. The mention of roaming mountains, valleys, and streams, and witnessing the blooming of flowers all year, adds to the sense of appreciation for the world around us and the memories created within it.
The final verse suggests taking the hand of the dearest friend and wandering through the pines until the fireworks of this celebratory moment end. It symbolizes the idea of savoring each precious moment, holding onto friendship, and celebrating together before moving forward into the new year.
In summary, "Auld Lang Syne" is an ode to old friendships, cherished memories, and the appreciation of time gone by. It encourages us to remember and honor these connections, to be kind, and to treasure the experiences and beauty of life.

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

For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

My grandmother passed away last December. She was not Scotish herself, but her granddaughter (me) was born in Scotland and she had held an affinity with it ever since. She wanted Scotish music for her service, but due to the service-providers we couldn't. Her ashes will be scattered tomorrow, at the place where she was most happy. I won't be able to be there, but I suggested to my family to play a nice version of Auld Lang Syne. My dad asked me if I could find a nice and appropriate version. This rendition made me cry. It is gorgeous. Thank you for making me feel I could be part of her send off.
