And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld ang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
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.
The lyrics to Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis's "Auld Lang Syne" express sentiments of nostalgia, reflection, and the importance of maintaining connections with old friends. The expression "auld lang syne" roughly translates to "old times" or "days gone by" in Scottish dialect. The song poses the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten and suggests that they should be remembered and celebrated with a toast of kindness.
The verse "We twa hae run aboot the braes/ And pu'd the gowans fine" paints a picture of the singers frolicking in the countryside and picking flowers. It then describes the weariness of their journey since those carefree days. The line "But seas between us braid hae roared" acknowledges physical distance separating them from their old friends. Despite that, the singers extend a hand of friendship and invite their companions to partake in a cup of kindness in remembrance of times gone by.

We twa hae run aboot the braes
We two have run around the hillsides
And pu'd the gowans fine.
And picked the daisies beautifully.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
We have walked many a tired step
Sin' auld lang syne.
Since long ago.
