Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
Hotaru no hikari, mado no yuki.
Fumi yomu tsukihi, kasane tsutsu.
Itsushika toshi mo, sugi no towo.
Aketezo kesa ha, wakare yuku.

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Tomaru mo yuku mo, kagiri tote,
Katami ni omou, chiyorozu no,
Kokoro no hashi wo, hitokoto ni,
Sakiku to bakari, utau nari.

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
Sakiku to bakari, utau nari.
Sakiku to bakari, utau nari
