Auld Lang Syne - Eddi Reader

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne.

(auld lang syne-old long since)

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.

We’ll take a cup o’kindness yet,

For the sake of auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes, (twa-two, braes-slope of a small hill)

And pulled the gowans fine;

(gowan-wild daisy)

We’ve wandered many a weary fit, (fit-footstep)

Since auld lang syne.

For auld…

We twa hae paddled in the burn, (burn-small stream)

Frae morning sun ‘til dine;

(frae-from, dine-dinner)

But seas between us broad have roared

Since auld lang syne.

Aye and surely you’ll be your pint stowp!

(pint stowp-a description

of a beer belly)

And surely I’ll be mine!

We’ll take a right gude-willie waught, (gude-willie waught-a good

will drink)

For the sake of auld lang syne.

For auld…

And here’s a hand, my trusty fere!

(fere- friend)

And gie’s a hand o’thine!

(gies-give me)

We’ll take a cup o’kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

For auld…

For auld lang syne.
