Auld Lang Syne

This song plays at midnight in most English speaking countries and was first published in 1796. It was an old Scottish tune that was updated by Robert Burns in the 1700’s. Translated into modern English it means “Old Long Ago”.

Auld Lang Syne

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 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 and days of auld lang syne? And here'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
