ROBERT BURNS SCOTTISH POEM<br />"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788. It is sung to the tune of a Scottish folk-song. It is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight. It is about the days gone by and old friendship. Many a times lyrics in Burns Scottish is replaced by modern English. This karaoke version uses selected stanzas and in modern English.<br /><br />The international Boy Scout movement, in many countries, uses it in diffent languages as a close to jamborees and other functions.<br /><br />LYRICS<br /> Should auld acquaintance be forgot,<br /> and never brought to mind?<br /> Should auld acquaintance be forgot<br /> and days of auld lang syne?<br /><br /> Refrain:<br /> For auld lang syne, my dear,<br /> For auld lang syne,<br /> We'll take a cup o' kindness yet<br /> For auld lang syne.<br /><br /> And here's a hand, my trusty friend,<br /> And gie's a hand o' thine;<br /> We'll take a cup o' kindness yet<br /> For auld lang syne.<br /><br />LINUX SOFTWARE USED<br />To make this karaoke file, I have used Linux software.
