Stuff I'm Listening To - Post Christmas Advent Edition - New Year's Eve


Artist: Die Toten Hosen
Lyrics by: Robbie Burns

Title: Auld Lang Syne

Lyrics(all):
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
and surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,
sin auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
sin auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
and surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Why?: So what the heck is an 'Auld Lang Syne' means "Old Long Since". Other than that, I can't tell you much more about this song that nobody seems to know the words to. So for you, posted above, full Scottish lyrics. 

As I said before, Christmas lacks decent punk songs. So let's end/start off the year right, shall we because nothing says new year's like a German punk band belting out a Scottish song, right? 

Happy New Year's everyone! Thanks for sticking with me this long. Here's to the roaring 20's!
