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 take a cup of kindness yet For days auld lang syne We twa hae run about the braes And pou'd the gowans fine meaning (pulled daisies) But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt (foot) Sin' auld lang syne. (long ago) We twa hae paidl'd in the burn Frae morning sun till dine meaning: dinner time But seas between us braid hae roar'd (broad) Sin' auld lang syne. And there's a hand, my trusty feire And gie's a hand o' thine And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught 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.
