To anyone that has the "Happy New Year" cd

[Nesskelz]

This is going to sound stupid, but it's driving me crazy. What is Bono asying at 2;39 into the first track?

 

[discothequeLP]

I know this one!


It's some Irish Folk Song, called the Auld Lang Syne, but i don't know the words

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh, if it is indeed auld lang syne (don't have the cd so i don't know), here's the lyrics:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

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

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

 

[Nesskelz]

its after 'auld lang syne', to me it sounds like he's saying "To 1992..." but that wouldnt make any sense.

 

[maro_chik]

Sounds like... "Here she comes, the future. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all. It's 1990; forget about the past, we're gonna celebrate the future - where the streets have no name."

You almost know it. It's Scottish, not Irish.

 

[steak]

You guys know 'auld lang syne', it's tradition to sing that on new years...

maro_chik

[Nesskelz]

oh, ok . Thanks. I have no idea why I couldn't understand what he was saying.
