Eddi Reader - Auld Lang Syne lyrics

rate me

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne. [auld lang syne = old long

since]

Chorus

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne.

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,

For the sake of old lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes, [twa = two; braes =

slope of a small hill]

And pulled the gowans fine;

We've wandered many a weary fit,

Since auld lang syne.

For auld...

We twa hae paddled in the burn,

Frae morning sun 'til dine; [frae = from; dine =

dinner]

But seas between us broad have roared

Since auld lang syne.

Aye and surely you'll be your pint stowp! [pint stowp =

a description of a beer-belly]

And surely I'll be mine!

We'll take a right gude-willie waught, [gude-willie

waught = a good will drink]

For the sake of auld lang syne.

For auld...

And here's a hand, my trusty fere!

And gie's a hand o' thine!

We'll take cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

For auld...

For auld lang syne.
