"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"
