Frank Perkins - Auld Lang Syne (anon) by Weed published on 2021-03-31T14:47:02Z "The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to another traditional tune, which has since become standard. ... 'For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, can be translated as 'for the sake of old times'."
