Auld Lang Syne

Yesterday was Hogmanay in Scotland and one of the traditions at midnight is singing Auld Lang Syne. People join hands and sing the song together to welcome in the new year. It is quite likely that you’ve heard the song before. But have you ever listened to the lyrics?

Auld Lang Syne – Listening

Listen to the recording of Auld Lang Syne by Julie Andrews.

Try to write down as much of the song lyrics as you can understand. Can you figure out the main message of the song?
