I think this poem is the most classic. I remember last year when American World War II veterans went to Yunnan to visit their graves
I hummed this poem to commemorate the comrades who died on the Burma Highway during World War II. The scene was very special. Touching
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgotten. How can an old friend be forgotten?
And never brought to mind? Never bring peace of mind again< /p>
Should auld acquaintance be forgotten. How can old friends be forgotten?
And days o'lang syne? There are still good times in the past?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for the good old days, (dear)
For auld lang syne, for the good old days,
We'll tak'a cup o'kindness yet Let us drink a cup of friendship,
For auld lang syne. For the good old days.
Wu twa ha'e run about the braes, we traveled all over the hills,
And pu'd the gowans fine; and picked the wild chrysanthemums;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne. Far from the good old days.
And here's a hand, my trusty fiere(friend) Old friend, I have extended my hand,
And gie'e a hand of thine, please extend your hand too Hold
We'll tak'a cup of kindness yet Let us drink a cup of friendship,
For auld lang syne. For the good old days.
For auld lang syne, my dear, for the good old days, (dear)
For auld lang syne, for the good old days,
We'll tak'a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne. For the good old days.
