Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
auld=old
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
auld lang syne=old long since=old times long past
For auld lang syne, my jo,
jo=darling
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
be your pint-stowp=buy your pint-cup
And surely I’ll be mine !
be mine=buy mine
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
We twa=We two
braes=slopes
And pu’d the gowans fine ;
pu'd the gowans=picked the daisies
But we’ve wander’d many a weary foot,
Sin auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn=We two have paddled in the stream
Frae morning sun till dine ;
frae=from
dine=dinner time
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
braid hae roar'd=broad have roared
Sin auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
fiere=friend
And gie's a hand o’ thine!
gie's=give us
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
gude-willy waught=good-will draught
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
