Scots pronunciation guide(as Scots speakers would sound

Shid ald akwentans bee firgot,an nivir brocht ti mynd?Shid ald akwentans bee firgot,an ald lang syn?
CHORUS:
Fir ald lang syn, ma deer,
fir ald lang syn,
Wil tak a cup o kyndnes yet,
fir ald lang syn.
An sheerly yil bee yur pynt-staup!an sheerly al bee myn!An will tak a cup o kyndnes yet,fir ald lang syn.
CHORUS
We twa hay rin aboot the braes,an pood the gowans fyn;Bit weev wandert monae a weery fet,sin ald lang syn.
CHORUS
We twa hay pedilt in the burn,fray mornin sun til dyn;But seas between us bred hay roardsin ald lang syn.
CHORUS
An thers a han, my trustee feer!an gees a han o thyn!And we’ll tak a right gude-willie-waught,fir ald lang syn.
CHORUS

English translation(minimalist)

Should old acquaintance be forgot,and never brought to mind ?Should old acquaintance be forgot,and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !And surely I’ll buy mine !And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,and picked the daisies fine ;But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,from morning sun till dine† ;But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !And give us a hand o’ thine !And we’ll take a right good-will draught,for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
† dine = dinner time
