Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup! And surely I’ll buy mine! And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine (dinner time); But seas between us broad have roaredsince auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And give us a hand o’ thine! And we’ll take a right good-will draught, for auld lang syne.
CHORUS

Richard Burns (scottish poet from the eighteen's century)
english translation

Auld Lang Syne (meaning days gone by)
this the song sung in new year's eve in english speaking countries, and it has the melody of "chegou a hora do adeus".

Its meaning, said in a sarcastic way, is my new year's message. I'll never forget you, my acquaitances, the ones that made my smile once, twice (doesn't matter how many times), the ones that had known my wills, my dislikes, my wishes, my ideas, the ones that are bound to me.
I know that you may be sure that you changed someone's life and really thank you for that.

also, a very important thing in this song, dealing with your emotions envolves alcohol most of the times...
Richard Burns had the record consumption of whisky!
