AULD LANG SYNE

AULD  LANG  SYNE

( OLD LONG SINCE )

LYRICS IN MODERN ENGLISH

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind ?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne ?

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

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We two have run about the slopes,

And picked the daisies fine ;

But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,

Since auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,

From morning sun till dine;

But seas between us broad have roared

Since auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !

And give us a hand o’ thine !

And we’ll take a right good-will draught,

For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.
