History reflects its poetry origins as far back as 1570 but Robert Burns established the version we know today. These three simple words—meaning “old,” “long,” and “since” in Scots—combine to form a phrase that roughly translates as “time gone by,” “old time’s sake,” or, in some contexts, “once upon a time.” [INTRO] Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o’ lang syne. [POWER CHORUS] For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne. [VERSE 1] We two have run about the hills, And pulled the daisies fine; But we’ve wander’d many a weary foot, Since auld lang syne. [VERSE 2] We two have paddled in the brook, From mornin’ sun till dinnertime: But seas between us broad have roar’d, Since auld lang syne. [OUTRO] And there’s a hand, my trusty friend, And give us a hand o’ thine; And we’ll take a right goodwill draft, For auld lang syne. [POWER CHORUS] For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne. [END]
