Auld Lang Syne

Happy New Year all!


Text below is from the Youtube post by saminnyc:

"We all sing Auld Lang Syne at midnight on December 31 but what are the lyrics? Most people don't know that it is a Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns and later set to the music of a folk song. I've put in the English translation.

This version of the song is by Dougie MacLean and is one of my favorite interpretations."
