Auld Lang Syne - Happy New Year! Hogmany!

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.

(On the last verse, traditionally, each clansmember extends his right hand of fellowship to the member on his left, then the left hand to the member on his right. This symbolizes two things: firstly, that they are crossing their hearts; secondly, that they automatically form a smaller and more intimate circle of friendship. Now they have an unbroken chain of brethren who are close friends.)

And there's a hand, my trusty frier!

And gie's a hand o'thine!

And we'll tak' a right guide-willie waught,

For auld lang syne.
