Lyrics

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Reflecting on whether old friendships should be forgotten

And never brought to mind?

Questioning if old friends should never be remembered

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Repeating the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten

And days of auld lang syne?

Contemplating the days of long ago, reminiscent of "auld lang syne"


We twa hae run about the braes

Recalling times of running together in the hills

And pu'd the gowans fine

Recollection of picking beautiful flowers together

We've wandered many a weary foot

Remembering the many miles traveled with tired feet

Sin auld lang syne

Since the days of "auld lang syne," indicating a long time ago


We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn

Recalling paddling in the stream from sunrise to sunset

From morning sun 'til dawn

Highlighting the long hours spent together

But seas between us brayed and roared

Reference to obstacles (seas) that have separated the friends

Sin auld lang syne

Since the days of "auld lang syne," indicating a long time ago


And there's a hand, my trusty friend

Describing a friendly hand extended for a handshake

And gives a hand of thine

Encouraging a reciprocal gesture of friendship

We'll tak a right gude-willy waught

Suggesting sharing a good drink for the sake of old times

For auld lang syne

For the sake of the days of "auld lang syne"


And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp

Referring to the traditional Scottish cup for measuring liquor

And surely I'll be mine

Expressing mutual ownership of their respective drinks

And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet

Committing to share a cup of kindness for old times' sake

For auld lang syne

For the sake of the days of "auld lang syne"


For auld lang syne, my dear

Repeating the sentiment of raising a cup for old times

For auld lang syne

Expressing familiarity and affection

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

Reiterating the intention to share a kind drink for old times

For auld lang syne

For the sake of the days of "auld lang syne"


For auld lang syne, my dear

Repeating the idea of raising a cup for old times with affection

For auld lang syne

Expressing familiarity and fondness

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

Reaffirming the intention to share a kind drink for old times

For auld lang syne

For the sake of the days of "auld lang syne"
