Tannahill Weavers - Auld Lang Syne

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “This has to be the most famous of all Robert Burns’ songs. The “known“ version is normally associated with the Scottish New Year festivities or a nostalgic end to an evening’s revelries. It is sad to say that the beauty and sadness of the lyric is usually forgotten, glossed over or, at best, never conveyed by the popular melody. It is to be hoped that this version carries the story line to the listener as much as it does to us. We twa hae rin aboot the braes And pu’d the gowans fine We’ve wandered many’s the weary step Since Auld Lang Syne We twa he paidled in the burn Frae morning sun till dine But seas between us brade he roared Since Auld Lang Syne Aye and surely you’ll be your pint stoup And surely I’ll be mine We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne So here’s a hand my trusty frien’ And here’s a haud o’ thine We’ll drink a right guid wullie waught For the sake o’ Auld Lang Syne For Auld Lang Syne my dear For Auld Lang Syne We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet For the sake o’ Auld Lang Syne from The Tannahill Weavers IV, released January 1, 1981 Robert Burns arr.
