Auld Lang Syne Lyrics
English Version
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and days old lang syne?
*For auld lang syne, my dear, for
auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for
auld lang syne.
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary
foot, since auld lang syne.*
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have
roared since auld lang syne. *
I Think Continually Of Those Who Were Truly Great
by Stephen Spender
I think continually of those who were truly great.
Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history
Through corridors of light where the hours are suns
Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition
Was that their lips, still touched with fire,
Should tell of the Spirit clothed from head to foot in
song.
And who hoarded from the Spring branches
The desires falling across their bodies like
blossoms.
What is precious is never to forget
The essential delight of the blood
drawn from ageless springs
Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.
Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light
Nor its grave evening demand for love.
Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother
With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.

Instrumental
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.**
Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields
See how these names are fêted by the waving grass
And by the streamers of white cloud
And whispers of wind in the listening sky.
The names of those who in their lives fought for life
Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.

Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards

the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honor.

by Stephen Spender
I think continually of those who were truly great.
Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's
history Through corridors of light where the hours
are suns Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition
Was that their lips, still touched with fire,
Should tell of the Spirit clothed from head to foot in

And who hoarded from the Spring branches
The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.
What is precious is never to forget
The essential delight of the blood
drawn from ageless springs
Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.
Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple
light Nor its grave evening demand for love.
Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother
With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.
Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields
See how these names are fêted by the waving grass
And by the streamers of white cloud

Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.
