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 tak a cup o´ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye´ll be your pint-stoup!
And surely I´ll be mine !
And we´ll tak a cup o´ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou´d the gowans fine;
But we´ve wander´d mony a weary fit,
sin´ 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.
And there´s a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gies a hand o´ thine!
And we´ll tak a right gude-willie-waught,
for auld lang syne.
