Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Contemplating whether old acquaintances should be forgotten.
And never brought to mind?
Questioning if these acquaintances should never be remembered.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Reiterating the contemplation of forgetting old acquaintances.
And days of auld lang syne?
Reflecting on the bygone days of long ago.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment of "for the sake of old times, my dear."
For auld lang syne
Repetition emphasizing the sentiment of remembering old times.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
Committing to share a cup of kindness in the future.
For auld lang syne
Reaffirming the commitment for the sake of old times.
We twa hae run aboot the braes
Recalling shared experiences of running about the hills.
And pou'd the gowans fine
Remembering picking the daisies together.
We've wander'd mony a weary foot
Reflecting on the many journeys taken on tired feet.
Sin' auld lang syne
Acknowledging the passage of time since the old times.
We two hae paidled i' the burn
Recalling playing in the stream together.
Frae mornin' sun till dine
Describing activities from morning until dinner.
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Noting the vast distance (seas) that separates them now.
Sin' auld lang syne
Highlighting the time that has passed since the old days.
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
Extending a hand as a symbol of friendship.
And gie's a hand o' thine
Inviting the friend to join in the camaraderie.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
Reiterating the commitment to share a cup of kindness.
For auld lang syne
For the sake of old times and friendship.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Repeating the initial contemplation of forgetting old acquaintances.
And never brought to mind?
Reiterating the idea of never remembering these acquaintances.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Repeating the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten.
And days of auld lang syne?
Reflecting on the days of long ago once again.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment of "for the sake of old times, my dear" once more.
For auld lang syne
Repetition emphasizing the sentiment of remembering old times again.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
Recommitting to share a cup of kindness in the future again.
For auld lang syne
Reaffirming the commitment for the sake of old times again.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment of "for the sake of old times, my dear" once more.
For auld lang syne
Repetition emphasizing the sentiment of remembering old times again.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
Recommitting to share a cup of kindness in the future again.
For auld lang syne
Reaffirming the commitment for the sake of old times again.
