「友誼萬歲（Auld Lang Syne ）」原是一首蘇格蘭的詩歌
是詩人羅伯特．彭斯（Robert Burns ）的作品
後來被譜上傳統的民歌小調，成為一首旋律美妙的歌曲
這一首西洋老歌不單傳頌友誼的可貴
更是西方人在除夕夜
手牽著手一起唱頌的傳統歌曲
喻意舊日時光雖然過去，但彼此的友誼卻永遠長存
除夕夜來臨以前，叮噹憑歌寄意
選上一首蘇格蘭方言（Scottish native dialect）的「友誼萬歲」
祝願友誼長存，新年快樂
來吧，且讓我們帶著平靜寛容的心
一起迎接更美好的二零二三年！
♫ Auld Lang Syne ♫
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
And surely you'll be your pint stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae ran about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right gude willie waught
For auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
