Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never thought of?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
and the days of the ancient times (literally, "old long since")?

Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld ang syne.

The two of us have run through the country lanes,
And have picked the fine daisies;
But we've wandered many weary steps
Since the ancient times.

We twa hae sported i' the burn, ( 'We two have fished the river')
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

The two of us have played in the field
From morning sun until dusk
But roaring oceans have split us apart
Since the ancient times.

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

You'll have your pint glass,
And I'll have mine,
And we'll drink to friendship,
In honor of the ancient times.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We' ll take a right gude willy waught,
For Auld Lang Syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We' ll take a right gude willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

Here's my hand, trusty friend,
And give me your hand.
Let's take a good long drink
In honor of the ancient times.
