Default A short History Auld Lang Syne DEC 31, 2011

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, one song will usher in 2012
in time zones around the world: Robert Burns’s “Auld Lang Syne.” Even in
Burns’s native Scotland, many people don’t understand all the words, but
that’s done nothing to diminish the song’s appeal.

Although it’s most often associated with the new year, “Auld Lang Syne” is a
global anthem of remembrance and fraternity: Type the title into YouTube,
and more than 32,000 versions come up, sung by everyone from Aretha Franklin
to Alvin and the Chipmunks to toddlers and their grannies.
The song is sung throughout the English-speaking world and has been
translated into more than 40 languages.

“It has traveled and embedded itself in cultures across the globe,” said
Burns biographer Robert Crawford. “It’s a malleable song — it’s quite
unspecific about the nature of friendship
— so it lends itself to many different occasions.”

THE LYRICS

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?

CHORUS:

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.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne

jUST THOUGHT YE MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
