Should 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]

For 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



Times 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
