Old Long Ago

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old times since?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

The song Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung by most of us on the stroke of midnight each New Years Eve, however in Scotland, where Auld Lang Syne originates, it is also sung on "Burns Night", January 25th, to celebrate the life of the author and famous poet, Robert Burns. The words 'Auld Lang Syne' literally translates from old Scottish dialect meaning 'Old Long Ago' and is about love and friendship in times past. The lyrics in the song Auld Lang Syne referring to 'We'll take a Cup of Kindness yet' relate to a drink shared by men and women to symbolize friendship. Best wishes to everyone for a very blessed and prosperous New Year!!!
