Auld Lang Syne” was originally written as a Scottish poem and was later set to music. The phrase “auld lang syne” translates in English as “old long since” or something akin to “times gone by.” here are the full lyrics translated from the original Scottish into English: Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld 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. CHORUS And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And give me a hand o’ thine! And we’ll take a right good-will draught, for auld lang syne Now you know.
