Original text and translations
English text
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
Refrain:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
2. We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt
Sin' auld lang syne.
Refrain.
3. 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.
Refrain.
4. And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
We'll take a right guide-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
Refrain.
5. And surely, ye'll be you pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Refrain.
