This is my last post of 2009.
When we hear about the New Year Countdown, the poem "Auld Lang Syne" comes to mind....and it does rhyme..syne and mind...Hehe..
Anyway, I have decided with you all the origin of this New Year classic.
It happens to be that "Auld Lang Syne" origins from a Scottish poem penned by Robert Burns in 1788, being sung to the tune of Roud 6294...
Auld Lang Syne in English are "Old Long Since" and ever since has been sung in the countdown to New Year in most of the English speaking countries...and has many versions...
These are the lyrics...HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 guys !!!!!
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of 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† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since 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.
