Happy New Year, and Auld Lang Syne!!!

Happy Fucking New Year!!!

So as we go forward lets think about being better people…kinder people…people who love other people, people!

The history and meaning of "Auld Lang Syne";

"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scots  

poem written by  Robert Burns in 1788 and set to

the tune of a traditional folk song; It is well known

 in many  countries,

especially in the English-speaking world; 

 its traditional use being to

celebrate the start of the  New Year 

 at the stroke of midnight. By extension,

 it   is also sung at funerals, graduations 

and as a farewell or ending to  other

occasions.  The song's Scots title may be translated

 into English literally  as 

"old long since", or more idiomatically,

 "long long ago", "days gone by"  or

"old times".  Consequently "For auld lang syne", 

as it appears in the first line

of the chorus, might be loosely translated as

 "for (the sake of) old times".

English translation (version) of Auld Lang Syne;

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.

CHORUS

I know that I for one would Love a Cup'O'Kindness Oh! I would like us all to share that Cup together! So here's my New Years Toast to all of you out there... "May your Cup overflow and may we all drink from the same Cup...The Cup Of Kindness"!
