Auld Lang Syne — Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
Refrain:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
2. We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt
Sin' auld lang syne.
Refrain.

About Auld Lang Syne
Auld Lang Syne is a traditional Scottish folk song, sung here in an arrangement for unison voices in English. The lyrics reflect on past friendships and memories, questioning whether old acquaintances should be forgotten. The refrain, taking a cup o' kindness, offers a toast to these enduring connections, even after periods of separation and change, as described in verses recalling shared journeys and experiences. The song's enduring popularity speaks to its universal theme of remembrance and camaraderie, making it a staple for occasions that celebrate the past and present bonds between people.
