auld lang syne

idk if youve ever heard this song but its an old scottish folk song and ppl sing it on new years. its called Auld Lang Syne roughly translates as Old Times Since. so as you read if you see it switch the auld lang syne for old times since im trying to find a full english translation tho. really like it, it can take you a lot of places if youre thinking back on the year past.

Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old times since ?

{chorus}For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne, (for old times since)
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup.
And surely you'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†;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne

{chorus}

And here'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}

idk maybe its just me being all sappy but this year has been a trip. i already did my LOVE/HATE 2008 so i wnt go there but i will say this, whoever your mind wanders to as you read and interperate this song to you and your life maybe thats where youll need to be maybe who you need to be with in the next few days with the rapidly approaching year.

be happy.
