Happy New Year 2015

 

 

Every year is marked by many memorable moments, some good some bad. Politics and economic news aside we narrow our focus to just a few personal happy events that had transpired in 2014.






Here’s some of the last year’s events are presented below in pictures and by the short YouTube video.

 



Auld Lang Syne 

 


Lyrics by Robert Burns

(Note: Burns’ original Scots verse[4]

as Scots speakers would sound

Burn’s own Ayrshire dialect) 







Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 







and never brought to mind ? 







Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 







and auld lang syne ? 







CHORUS

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, 




Rex Woods (1902-1987)



for auld lang syne. 







CHORUS

We twa hae run about the braes, 







and pu’d the gowans fine ; 







But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit, 







sin auld lang syne. 







CHORUS

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. 







CHORUS

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. 







CHORUS


Auld Lang Syne


(Modern Lyrics) 








Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 







And never brought to mind? 







Should auld acquaintance be forgot,







And auld lang syne! 








CHORUS

For auld lang syne, my dear, 







For auld lang syne. 







We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, 







For auld lang syne.








Wishing you all good health, happiness and prosperity in the coming Year.
