Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne is a traditional Scottish folk song, often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. The song’s title is derived from the Scots language phrase “auld lang syne”, meaning “old long since”. It was written by Robert Burns in 1788 and has been translated into many languages.

The lyrics to Auld Lang Syne are often changed for modern purposes, but the traditional words remain a classic:

 Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.

We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

The song is known for its celebration of nostalgia and friendship, and these themes are echoed in the lyrics. The message of Auld Lang Syne is clear—cherish relationships with those who have been with you in good times and bad. Appreciate the shared memories, and take a moment to reflect on the past.
