Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pa’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot,
Sin’ auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear…
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll take a right gude-willie-waught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear…
la regina gioiosa
