Manigong Bagong Taon!!!
As we usher in the new year, almost everyone sings Auld Lang Syne as the clock strikes midnight. Well, most everyone in the western world anyway. I bet my bottom dollar there'll be a couple of hundred thousand people singing this holiday jingle in this part of the world, too, in a few hours.
Ever notice how a lot of people don't actually know the lyrics by heart and usually just end up humming along or just singing the same lines over and over again?
Well fear not. Here are the complete lyrics to help you get ready to belt it out with confidence in time for tonight's festivities.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and days of old 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 days of 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 us a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
Now for a little history...Did you know that the original Auld Lang Syne was written by Scottish poet Robert Burns. The term “auld lang syne” roughly translates from 18th century Scottish into “old times’ sake”, and just like it is used today, it is meant to be sung at the end of the year to remember the things that have transpired through the past year.
As you can see, the song does a pretty good job of bringing up fond memories of the past year. And drinking. LOTS of drinking.
And so, wherever you may be singing Auld Lang Syne tonight, I hope you have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve. Here's to a GREAT 2011!!!
