Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll have mine
And we'll take a cup o' 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
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine
But we wandered many weary miles
Since auld lang syne
Since auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And here's my hand my trusty friend
And give me your hand too
Oh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
The lyrics to Kenny G & Orchestra's song Auld Lang Syne, is a reflection on the past and the significance of remaining connected to those who have been a part of our lives. The chorus emphasizes the importance of holding onto past memories and relationships, acknowledging that people may have drifted apart but should still take the time to celebrate the moments shared together. The lyrics "Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind..." serve as a rhetorical question, emphasizing that the answer should be no. They encourage people to cherish and honor the relationships that have been a part of our lives regardless of time or distance.
The lyrics also mention taking a cup of kindness, which represents the importance of generosity and goodwill between friends, embodying the idea that regardless of time or distance, people can remain connected through their memories and the bonds they share. It is a statement of hope and an acknowledgement that the connections made during our lives are significant and that they are worth celebrating at every opportunity. The final stanza signifies an understanding of the importance of friendship, and the lyrics reflect a commitment to holding that friendship close, no matter the challenges that we may face.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
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 tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin days of auld lang syne
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of 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
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
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
