Auld Lang Syne 

by 

Robert Burns 1759 to 1796

(Scottish Version)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And auld lang syne?

(Chorus)

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!

And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

(Chorus)

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes

And pu'd the gowans fine

But we've wander'd mony a weary foot

Sin auld lang syne.

(Chorus)

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,

Frae morning' sun till dine,

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin auld lang syne.

(Chorus)

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!

And gie's a hand o thine!

And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,

For auld lang syne.

(Chorus)

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

“Let’s take a cup of kindness yet,

 For the sake of auld lang syne.”

AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

   And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

   And auld lang syne!

   For auld lang syne, my dear,

   For auld lang syne.

   We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

   For auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint stowp!

   And surely I’ll be mine!

And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

   For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,

   And pou’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,

   Sin’ auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,

   Frae morning sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar’d

   Sin’ auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fere!

   And gie’s a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll tak a right gude-willie waught,

   For auld lang syne.

   For auld lang syne, my dear,

   For auld lang syne.

   We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

   For auld lang syne.
