With the help of Shannon Gentile, I just picked up the last foster dog of 2014 for NEBTR. She's a 7 year old mill dog, and she will start out 2015 with an entirely new life. She's a tiny girl, with a cute under-bite, and sometimes she shows off her too toofers in the front. Just adorable! Everything is new to her, but she likes people, so this transition to her new life is off to a great start.
I wanted to pick a name that let everyone know she's a new years eve dog. So I named her Lang Syne.
I looked up the meaning of the song and thought it was interesting. Here is the meaning behind "Auld Lang Syne."
Happy New Years to EVERYONE!
Chris & Lang Syne
The 'Auld Lang Syne' lyrics and words were written by poet Robert Burns, and first published in 1787.
The words 'Auld Lang Syne' literally translates from old Scottish dialect meaning 'Old Long Ago' and is about love and friendship in times past.
The song begins by posing a rhetorical question as to whether it is right that old times be forgotten, and is generally interpreted as a call to remember long-standing friendships. Should old acquaintances be forgotten? Heck no!
The Meaning of 'Auld' is "Old" and the meaning of 'Lang Syne ' is "Long Since". The lyrics "We'll take a cup o' kindness yet" refers to the tradition of raising a glass, or a cup o' kindness meaning with "good will, friendship and kind regard" and in remembrance of "noble deeds.".
Auld Lang Syne : 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.
