Auld Lang Syne

English version of

Original Scots verse by

Robert Burns

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne?

Chorus:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup!

and surely I'll buy mine! 

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

for auld lang syne.

Chorus

We two have paddled in the stream,

from morning sun till dine;

But seas between us broad have roared

since auld lang syne.

Final Chorus

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.
