Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet 
For auld lang syne

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou’d the gowans fine; 
we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot
Sin’ auld lang syne

We two hae paidled i’ the burn,
Frae mornin’ sun till dine; 
But seas between us braid hae roar’d 
Sin’ auld lang syne

And here’s a hand, my trusty friend, 
And gie’s a hand o’ thine; 
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet 
For auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet 
For auld lang syne

For those who’d say that the “fat lady” isn’t believable when singing on an opera stage - what-say-you about Ms. Leontyne Price singing the role of a Geisha?

When I left my homeland of Trinidad and Tobago for Miami, Florida in 1998 I didn’t think to myself; “Say goodbye to your old life, Patrice. You’ll never live here again.” It wasn’t that serious.
