The immense splendor of the white sheen of wintry Scotland, the pulsating distinctiveness of the Scotts teamed with the age old tradition of the land of Gaels offers a matchless vigor to the celebration of the Scottish New Year where song plays an important part. The Scottish New Year or Hogomanay as it has been termed in Scotland is the fiesta of greeting the new time whilst bidding bye to the closed year.Refined cuisine, classy wine and the effervescent rhythm of the Scottish New year song makes the beginning of the New year in Scotland a lot more colorful and promising.
The most popular Scottish New Year song ''Auld Lang Syne'' with its melody and swinging quality has been regarded as the most apt song for greeting the new beginning. Hope, dream, aspiration and desire laces the song and is an eloquent utterance of the poetic excellence of Robert Burns who composed the Scottish New Year song.
Let us greet this New Year with the melody of the Scottish New Year song.
Auld Lang Syne (Scottish Dialect)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne
And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp
And surely I 'll be mine
And we 'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine
But we 've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie 's a hand o' thine
And we 'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne
[CHORUS]
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindess yet
For auld lang syne
Times Long Gone (English translation)
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of long ago
[CHORUS:]
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandenavy many a weary foot
For old long ago
We two have paddled in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roanavy
Since old long ago
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill draught
For old long ago
And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
