hould auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne
And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp
And surely I 'll be mine
And we 'll take 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 monie 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 gie 's a hand o' thine
And we 'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne
[CHORUS]
Fo r auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindess yet
For auld lang syne
(And now for the English translation:)
Tim es Long Gone
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of long ago
[CHORUS:]
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For old long ago
We two have paddled in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since old long ago
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill draught
For old long ago
And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
