  ORIGINAL TEXT
  
  Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
  and never brought to mind?
  Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
  and auld lang syne?
  
  CHORUS:
  For auld lang syne, my jo,
  for auld lang syne,
  we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
  for auld lang syne.
  
  And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
  and surely I’ll be mine!
  And we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
  for auld lang syne.
  
  We twa hae run about the braes,
  and pou’d the gowans fine;
  But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
  sin' auld lang syne.
  
  We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
  frae morning sun till dine;
  But seas between us braid hae roar’d
  sin' auld lang syne.
  
  And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
  and gie's a hand o’ thine!
  And we’ll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
  for auld lang syne.
  
  TRANSLATION
  
  Should old acquaintance be forgot,
  and never brought to mind?
  Should old acquaintance be forgot,
  and days of long ago?
  
  CHORUS:
  For days of long ago, my dear,
  for days of long ago,
  we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
  for days of long ago.
  
  And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
  and surely I’ll buy mine!
  And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
  for days of long ago.
  
  We two have run about the slopes,
  and picked the daisies fine;
  But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
  since days of long ago.
  
  We two...    less
