Auld Lang Syne is a song by Robert Burns (1759--1796). It is one of the better-known songs in English-speaking countries, and it is often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.

 Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of 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!

auld (adjective): old (Scottish)

lang syne (noun): the distant past, long ago (old Scottish)

tak (verb): take (Scottish)

o' (preposition): of

 Burns' Original Scots verse:

 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.

CHORUS

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.
