Auld Lang Syne
Celebrating Memories: Auld Lang Syne's Timeless Message
Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Reflecting on 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?
Referencing the days of long ago, expressing nostalgia.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment of "for old times' sake" to a loved one.
For auld lang syne
Repeating the desire to remember old times with affection.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
Committing to share a cup of kindness in memory of past days.
For the days of auld lang syne
Reaffirming the nostalgia for the days of long ago.
We twa hae run about the braes
Recalling running and picking flowers together.
And pou'd the gowans fine
Remembering specific shared moments of joy.
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Acknowledging the challenges and hardships faced since then.
Since the days of auld lang syne
Connecting these experiences to the days of long ago.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing the same sentiment as in lines 6-9.
For auld lang syne
Reiterating the desire to remember old times with affection.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
Committing to share kindness in memory of the past.
For days of auld lang syne
Reaffirming the nostalgia for the days of long ago.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup
Referring to a traditional Scottish drinking vessel, suggesting a toast.
And surely I'll be mine
Confirming each person's possession of their own drinking vessel.
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
Committing to sharing a cup of kindness for old times' sake.
For auld lang syne
Referencing the days of long ago once again.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Repeating the contemplation of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten.
And never brought to mind?
Reiterating the question of whether these acquaintances should never be remembered.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Reiterating the contemplation of forgetting old acquaintances.
And days of auld lang syne?
Referencing the days of long ago, expressing nostalgia once again.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment of "for old times' sake" to a loved one once more.
For auld lang syne
Repeating the desire to remember old times with affection.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
Committing to share a cup of kindness in memory of past days once more.
For auld lang syne
Reiterating the nostalgia for the days of long ago.
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing the same sentiment as in lines 6-9 for the final time.
For auld lang syne
Reiterating the desire to remember old times with affection for the last time.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
Committing to share kindness in memory of the past for the last time.
For auld lang syne
Reaffirming the nostalgia for the days of long ago for the final time.
