Happy New Year


"Auld Lang Syne is based upon an early Scots ballad, which is equivalent to English 'old long since, and can best be translated as 'times gone by'.
Lyrics:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne!
Chorus- (repeated between each stanza)- For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For 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. Chorus-
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.

or som may prefer this version.

"There was a man His name was Lang and he had a wooden sign
Now Mr. Lang Was very old So they called it Old Lang's Sign"
