Extending warmest wishes to everyone for an outstanding and amazing 2023. The famous Scottish song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ which is sung all around the English-speaking world gives us a succinct message on what our thoughts should be in the New Year. 

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And the days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet

For the sake of auld lang syne“

The clear English translation for the above so-called Scottish Gaelic lyrics are as follows,

    “Should Old acquaintance be forgot,

    and never thought upon;

    The flames of Love extinguished,

    and fully past and gone:

    Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,

    that loving Breast of thine;

    That thou canst never once reflect

    On long past times?“

May a rising year shine upon you the rays of success and a joyous reality where dreams come true.
