Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should alud acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should alud acquaintance be forgot
And 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 the day&nights dream
From morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
Singin' song 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 there's a hand my trusted friend
And given a hand of day
We'll take a right good drunk
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
