New Year’s Eve Guide

An English translation of the Scottish song “Auld Lang Syne” is “For Old Times’ Sake,” which also fits the melody. The song is traditionally sung in its native land and accompanies a festive dance that all other countries have fortunately disregarded, while Zimbabweans have gone as far as making “Auld Lang Syne” their official funeral farewell song.
