Auld Lang Syne
Celebrating Bonds: A Reflection on Time
Lyrics
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Questioning whether old friendships should be forgotten
And never brought to mind?
Asking if these friendships should never be remembered
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Reiterating the question of forgetting old acquaintances
And auld lang syne
Referring to "auld lang syne," meaning "times gone by" or "old times"
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment for old times, addressing a dear person
For auld lang syne
Repeating the desire for old times with emphasis
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
Committing to sharing a cup of kindness in the future
For days of auld lang syne
For the days of old times
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Repeating the question of whether old acquaintances should be forgotten
And never brought to mind?
Emphasizing the idea of never bringing old acquaintances to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Reiterating the question about forgetting old friends
And days of auld lang syne
Referring again to the days of "auld lang syne," indicating nostalgia
For auld lang syne, my dear
Expressing a sentiment for old times, addressing a dear person
For auld lang syne
Repeating the desire for old times with emphasis
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
Committing once more to sharing a cup of kindness in the future
For auld lang syne
For the days of old times
