For times gone by

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 of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

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!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie 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 guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne


Happy New Year. To all my friends Past and Present. I raise my glass and toast to you for times gone by.

 

Translation:

Should old friends be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old friends be forgot,
And times gone by?

For times gone by, my dear,
For times gone by,
We'll talk a cup of kindness yet,
For times gone by!

And surely you'll pay for your drink,
And surely I'll pay for mine,
And we'll talk a cup of kindness yet,
For times gone by!

We two have run about the hills,
And picked the daisies fine,
But we've wander'd many a weary foot,
Since times gone by.

We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night,
But seas between us broad have roar'd
Since times gone by.

And here's a hand my trusty friend,
And give your hand to me,
And we'll have a right goodwill drink,
For times gone by!

 

Here's for old times sake my friends!



I hope you all have a happy and safe New Years!

 

My room mate passed away last week and I am going to have to move. So I don;t think I will be in San Jose in March.
