NEW YEAR GREETING

I would like to wish everyone a very happy, very safe, very healthy and very prosperous New Year for 2011. 

Auld Lang Syne         ["for (the sake of) old times".]

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
