Lisa Lambe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld 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,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine!
And 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.

We two have run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered many a weary fit
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.

We two have paddled in the burn,
From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid have roared
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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lisa Lambe's "Auld Lang Syne" speaks of the timeless tradition of reminiscing about the past and the special bond between two people. The song poses a rhetorical question, whether old friendships should be cast aside and forgotten as time passes by. It then answers its own question by declaring that even after many years have gone by, people should still cherish the memories they shared in the past. It is said that people should hold onto the times that they had fondly and continue to make new memories together.


The chorus, "For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne," describes the act of sharing a drink with someone to honor the memories they have shared. The "cup of kindness" symbolizes the act of kindness and love, which encourages people to continue to be kind to one another and spread joy.


The following verses depict the memory of two people who, in the past, ran on the hills or played in the stream, but who have since separated due to life's challenges. The lyrics speak of how physical distance cannot and should not affect the bond between these people since they have shared so many memories.


Overall, "Auld Lang Syne" highlights the importance of holding onto cherished memories and treasuring the special bonds shared with loved ones, despite how far away they may be from us.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

[CHORUS:]
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 braes,
and pu'd the gowans fine;
And we’ve wandered many a weary step,
since auld lang syne.

[CHORUS:]
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 paddled in the burn,
from morning sun till dine;
But the seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

[CHORUS:]
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
...we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
