First Post Of 2008
Okay, for my first post for 2008, I'll be putting up the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne. I have long wondered what the true meaning of this song is, and just recently, I came across a lyric site, Hogmanay.com. They have a very good explanation of what the song really means and they even have a translation table of some foreign words in the song. Here it is:
AULD LANG SYNE
Words adapated from a traditional song
by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)
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 tak a cup of 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,
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Yan, ganda ng meaning di ba. So yun, kagagaling lang namin sa MOA by the way and kumain kami sa Hawaian Bar-B-Q. Grand opening ata nila ngayon kasi may nakalagay na "We're On A Dry Run." Hindi ako nasarapan sa pagkain. Actually dapat magpipicnic kami sa Eco Park kaso til 5pm na lang pala yun so dumaan na lang muna kami kina Auntie Cele since dun din sila nakatira sa village na yun. Medyo nagreet greet ng Happy New Year tapos umalis na rin. Ayun, tapos sa MOA nagPowerstation yung mga bata. Tapos ako grabe ewan ko baket hanggang ngayon hilong hilo ako. Anyways yun, a good way to start the 2008 Mr. T! Buo ang family and masaya. Ayt ayt? Update you soon.
