From the champagne to the sparklers, it\u2019s a glorious night of ringing in a bright new future. But there\u2019s one particular question you (like me), might have about it.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly does the song \u201cAuld Lang Syne\u201d mean? You hear it every year, and as it turns out, the song is from an old Scottish poem and translates to \u201cold long since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly does that mean and why do we sing it every New Year\u2019s Eve? It all started with a 1788 poem by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rd.com%2Farticle%2Fwhat-does-auld-lang-syne-mean%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Robert \u201cRabbie\u201d Burns<\/a>. The poem\u2019s literal translation is a bit odd, but for Scottish people, the meaning is closer to \u201cdays gone by\u201d or the \u201cgood old times.\u201d Essentially, it\u2019s a poem about toasting to memories of years past and well, drinking.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Chouggo-Champagne-Flutes-Crystal-Glasses\/dp\/B093PP6TNG?tag=lsmedia-13381-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41iQJwrFQyL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Burns cited oral Scottish tradition as his reason for writing down the poem, and ever since he did, it has been popular in Scotland. As for how it became the anthem for New Year\u2019s Eve in North America, that\u2019s due to Scottish people\u2019s immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Once it was introduced into the lexicon, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians Band performed the song every year from 1929 through 1977. Their version is the one we hear each year when the New York City ball drops.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been at a New Year\u2019s Eve party or watched the ball drop only to wonder what \u201cAuld Lang Syne\u201d means, it\u2019s actually a sweet, nostalgic song about times gone by and having a nip or two for old friends.
