Auld Lang Syne
A Nostalgic Toast to Time: Auld Lang Syne's Timeless Reflection
Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Contemplates whether old friendships should be forgotten
And never brought to mind?
Questions if these friendships should be permanently disregarded
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Reiterates the contemplation of forgetting old acquaintances
And days of auld lang syne.
Refers to the days of long ago, known as "auld lang syne"
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expresses a commitment to remember old times, addressing a loved one
For auld lang syne.
Reiterates the commitment to remember old times
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
Promises to share a cup of kindness in the future
For the sake of old lang syne.
For the sake of the old times, emphasizing the importance of kindness
We twa hae run about the braes,
Recalls past adventures and experiences with a companion
And pulled the gowans fine;
Reminisces about carefree times spent together
We've wandered many a weary fit,
Acknowledges the challenges faced in the journey since the old times
Since auld lang syne.
Reiterates the phrase "auld lang syne" to emphasize the time gone by
For auld
Continuation of the reminiscence
We twa hae paddled in the burn,
Recalls shared experiences like paddling in the stream
Frae morning sun 'til dine;
Describes the duration of time spent together from morning till dinner
But seas between us broad have roared
Reflects on the physical distance and challenges faced in the relationship
Since auld lang syne.
Reiterates the impact of time and separation on the friendship
Aye and surely you'll be your pint stowp!
Encourages sharing a drink together in the future
And surely I'll be mine!
Expresses mutual understanding that each will have their own path
We'll take a right gude-willie waught,
Commits to a hearty toast for the sake of old times
For the sake of auld lang syne.
Reiterates the importance of the past
For auld
Continuation of the reminiscence
And here's a hand, my trusty fere!
Extends a hand in friendship to a trusted companion
And gie's a hand o' thine!
Encourages the friend to offer their hand in return
We'll take cup o' kindness yet,
Commits to sharing another cup of kindness in the future
For auld lang syne.
Reiterates the importance of the old times and shared experiences
For auld
Continuation of the reminiscence
For auld lang syne.
Final repetition of the phrase "auld lang syne" to conclude the reflection
