Auld Lang Syne - TRANSLATION
This is a translation of the famous Robert Burns poem, Auld Lang Syne. This was taken from the
The World Burns
Club website.
Should old acquaintances be forgotten
And never remembered
Should old acquaintance be forgotten
For old long ago Chorus:
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
And there is a hand my trust friend
And give me a hand of yours
And we will take of a good drink/toast
For old long ago
Chorus
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine
But we've wandered many a weary foot
Since old long ago
Chorus
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun until dinner-time
But seas between us broad have roared
Since old long ago
Chorus
And there is a hand my trust friend
And give me a hand of yours
And we will take of a good drink/toast
For old long ago
Chorus
