This beautiful love song is dedicated to all DanFan for your passions with Dan, may his music everlasting in our hearts! Let's sing with him, but this time sing a little more slowly.... The Last Nail (Lyrics) I saw you running ahead of the crowd I chased but never thought I'd catch you You said you loved me but you had to be free and I let you Why did I let you We walked together through the gardens and graves I watched you grow to be a woman Living on promises that nobody gave to no one They were given to no one I started listening to the wind and the rain You strained your ears but could hear nothing One night I thought I heard them whisper my name And I went running I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow I swore one day I would retrace them But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them Now I'll never replace them (Chorus) Fly away, my sweet bird, over the land Take life for all the freedom you can But if you ever should need a man Well, the offer still stands I hear you've taken on a husband and child And live somewhere in Pennsylvania I never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't blame you none So let the ashes fall and lay ...

Chorus Meaning of unusual words: Auld lang syne = Former days and friends jo = dear stoup = tankard gowans = daisies braid = broad Gude willie waught = friendly draught Here is the "translation" into modern English. There is no doubt that Burns did it better! Days Long Ago Should old acquaintances be forgotten And never be remembered? Should old acquaintances be forgotten and days long ago. Chorus: For days long ago, my dear, For days long ago We'll drink a cup of kindness yet For days long ago! And surely you'll have your pint tankard And surely I'll have mine. And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet For days long ago. Chorus We two have run about the hills And pulled the daisies fine But we've wandered many a weary mile Since the days long ago. Chorus We two have paddled in the stream From morning sun till dinner-time But the broad seas have roared between us Since the days long ago. Chorus And here's my hand, my trusty friend, And give me your hand too, And we will take an excellent good-will drink For the days of long ago.
Be kind to auld grannie, for noo she is frail, As a time shatter'd tree bending low in the gale. When ye were bairnies tott, totting about, She watch'd ye when in, and she watched ye when out; And aye when ye chanc'd in your daffin and fun, To dunt your wee head on the cauld stanney grun', She lifted ye up and she kiss'd ye fu' fain, Till a' your bit cares were forgotten again. Then be kind to auld grannie, for noo she is frail, As a time shatter'd tree bending low in the gale. When first in your breasts rose that feeling divine, That's wak'd by the tales and the sangs o' lang syne, Wi' auld-warld cracks she would pleasure inspire, In the lang winter nights as she sat by the fire; Or melt your young hearts wi' some sweet Scottish lay, Like "Flow'rs o' the Forest" or "Auld Robbie Gray"; Though eerie the win' blew around our bit cot, Grim winter and a' its wild blasts were forgot; Then be kind to auld grannie, for noo she is frail, As a time shatter'd tree bending low in the gale. And mind though the blythe day o' youth is noo yours, Time will wither its joys, as wild winter the flow'rs; And your step that's noo licht as the bound o' the roe, Wi' cheerless auld age may be feeble and slow; And the frien's o' your youth to the grave may be gane, And ye on its brink may be tott'ring alane; Oh, think how consoling some frien' would be then, When the gloaming o' life comes like mist o'er the glen; Then be kind to auld grannie, for noo she is frail, As a time shatter'd tree bending low in the gale. Meaning of unusual words: bairnies=children aye=always daffin=romp dunt=bump stanney grun'=stony ground fu' fain=full of affection lang syne=long ago auld-warld cracks=old world stories mind=remember gloaming=twilight/dusk
Heres a virtual movie of Robert Burns 1759 - 1796 reading his much loved poem and anthem to the New year "Auld Lang Syne" "Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many English-speaking countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more "long long ago"[1] or "days gone by". The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (15701638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757), and James Watson (1711) as well as older folk songs predating Burns. Robert Burns was born in Alloway, Ayrshire, on Jan. 25, 1759, in the cottage of hard-working farmer parents Long considered the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns is the author of "Auld Lang Syne," "To A Mouse" and "Tam o' Shanter." Raised in a poor family of farmers, Burns was nonetheless educated in literature and began writing verse when he was a teenager. His father died in 1784 and Burns tried to make a go of it as a farmer, but found more success with poetry. To raise money to emigrate to Jamaica, he published a collection called Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect in Kilmarnock in 1786. The collection sold well and boosted his reputation among the literati, so Burns decided to stay in Scotland. He toured the country, published another edition in Edinburgh (1787) and joined James Johnson in publishing The Scots Musical Museum, a collection of Scottish folk songs. Burns is credited with collecting, revising and adapting hundreds of traditional songs, and his original poems brought international attention to Scottish language and culture. Although Burns became a well-known poet and a favorite native son, he still had to work for a living. He settled in Dumfries, where he worked as an excise agent while continuing to write. Despite his early death at the age of 37 (he had an unhealthy heart, it seems), Burns produced a large body of work, including the popular Scot anthem "Scots Wha Hae" and the poem "A Red, Red Rose." His life of carousing and his stick-it-to-the-man attitude further endeared him to his countrymen, and "Rabbie" Burns is still considered Scotland's best-loved poet.

Because of the preconceived pretence associated with it, this misunderstanding from it's inception, till this very day, where it is recited sanctimoniously, and with silly sentimentality, as with, "Larks bravely singing", has anything to do with soldiers being brave.

Robert Burns - Auld Lang Syne As sung by Dougie MacLean on the album Tribute. append &fmt=18 for hq version.
Though generally considered an Irish song these days, this song, also known as "Good Night and Joy Be With You All", is probaby of Scottish origin. Until Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne, it was the most popular parting song both in Ireland and Scotland. It was printed on broadsides as early as 1770 and appears in Herd's Scots Songs (1803). The tune itself goes back to the 1600s. The song has been recorded many times, especially by Irish groups. Some notable recordings are Steeleye Span (on "Horkstow Grange"), The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Pogues (1985), The Dubliners, Elvis Costello and Sinead O'Connor (2002). The song was also used in a popular movie, "Waking Ned Devine", where it was sung by Shaun Davey.

Zachary's 1st birthday party with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Sally, Pat, Von, Christina, Chase, Uncle Craig, Aunt Jen, William, Fran, Daddy, Mommy Cyn, & Steph all singing "Happy Birthday" to Zachary. "Happy Birthday to You" is a song which is sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most popular song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and "Auld Lang Syne". The song has been translated into many languages, though it is often sung with the English lyrics even in countries where English is not a primary language. The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" was written by American sisters Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893 when they were school teachers in Louisville, Kentucky. The verse was originally intended as a greeting entitled "Good Morning to All". The version as we know it was copyrighted in 1935 by the Summy Company as an arrangement by Preston Ware Orem, and is scheduled to expire in 2030. This was the first known written version to include the lyrics. The company holding the copyright was purchased by Warner Chappell in 1990 for $15 million, with the value of "Happy Birthday" estimated at $5 million.[1] While the current copyright status of the song is unclear, Warner claims that unauthorized public performances of the song are technically illegal unless royalties are paid to them. It is unknown, but speculated upon who wrote the lyrics to "Happy Birthday to You." Popular comical variations include: "Happy birthday to you, cha cha cha, happy birthday to you, cha cha cha" (origin unknown) "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too" (or "and belong in a zoo") "Happy birthday to you, you belong in a zoo, cause you look like a monkey and you smell like one too!" "Happy birthday to you, squashed tomatoes and stew, bread and butter in the gutter, happy birthday to you." "Happy birthday to you, you're one hundred and two, you smell like a monkey, and you eat like one too!" "Happy Birthday to you, stick your head down the loo, don't waste it, just taste it, happy birthday to you" "Happy birthday to you, I went to the zoo, I saw a fat monkey, and it looked just like you!". "Happy birthday to you, you live in the zoo, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too." In Spanish: Apio verde tuyo, apio verde tuyo... Meaning: Your green celery, your green celery... (sounds like the English "happy birthday to you") In German (children's version): Happy birthday to you, Marmelade im Schuh, Aprikose in der Hose, happy birthday to you.(or "und ein Bartwurst dazu" as the ending) (the german lines saying "jam in the shoe, apricot in the pants, and a sausage ontop") Sometimes the line "And many more" is added at the end of the song The song is occasionally followed at the end by another phrase, sung to the same tune: How old are you now, How old are you now, How old are you (name), How old are you now? Cumpleaños feliz cumpleaños feliz te deseamos [todos / nombre del agasajado/a] cumpleaños feliz. Happy Birthday to You is often sung when a birthday cake is brought to a party table.
