GIE'S A SONG OR SUMHIN

[Guest]

Be sure it's true
When you say
I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you
Yes I do
I love you
If you break my heart, I'll cry
So be sure it's true
When you say
I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie

My mother sang that song every New Year I can remember

I can hear her singing it now

My Dad would sing to us at bedtime if he was home.
Good night ladies,good night ladies,goodnight ladies it's time to leave you now.

I also remember him singing:

Star of the evening
shining on the cook house door
Star of the evening
pretty little evening Star.

Cailin mo rùin-sa is leannan mo ghràidh
Ainnir mo chridh-sa 's i cuspair mo dhàin
Tha m'inntinn làn sòlais bhi tilleadh gun dàil
Gu cailin mo rùin-sa is leannan mo gràidh.

B'òg chuir mi eòlas air leannan mo ghràidh
'S a rinn mise suas ri'sa ghleannan gu h-àrd
A gnuis tha cho aoidheil, làn gean agus bàigh
Is mise bhios cianail, mur faigh mi a làmh.

Gur tric sinn le chéile gabhail cuairt feadh an àit'
'S a falbh troimh na cluaintean gach bruachag is màgh
Na h-eoin bheag le smudan a' seinn dhuinn an dàn
'S toirt fàilte do'n mhaighdinn d'an d'thug mi mo ghràdh.

Bha mise làn aoibhneis nuair fhuair mi cheud phòg
Bho'n chaileig ghrinn uasail tha aighearach òg
'S e mo mhiann is mo dhùrachd, cho fad 's bhios mi beò
A bhi pòsd' ris a' ghruagaich tha suairc agus còir.

Nancy
I'm on my second rum & coke trying to dull the pain from my day of skiing. In my younger day I would sip hot spiced wine by a roaring fire trying to warm up after being out in 10 degree weather all day. Hubbie and I would do a jig in the lounge after a few of these drinks and have a gay old time. Now fast forward 20 years and I'm soaking my feet, popping aspirin, rubbing ben-gay on my soar neck and thinking about a third rum & coke.
LOL

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought th min'?
Should auld acauaintance be forgot,
And days o'lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindeness yet,
For auld lang syne

We tw hae run about the braes:
And pow'w the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup of o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,

And here's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o'thine;
And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught
For aluld land syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of o'kindness yet,
For auld land syne.

By Robert Burns

Had a swell time tonight and wish everyone a "HAPPY NEW YEAR'

Land of the high endeavor
Land of the shining river
Land of my heart forever
Scotland the Brave

I guess that says it all.
