Lyrics Kurt Nilsen

Kurt Nilsen

Auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For days auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes

And pou'd the gowans fine meaning (pulled daisies)

But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt (foot)

Sin' auld lang syne. (long ago)

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn

Frae morning sun till dine meaning: dinner time

But seas between us braid hae roar'd (broad)

Sin' auld lang syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty feire

And gie's a hand o' thine

And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught

For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp

And surely I'll be mine

And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet

For auld lang syne.
