New Year Songs

A site especially created for the celebration of New Year listed some popular new year songs which are very familiar to us, like Auld Lang Syne, or the Barry Manilow classic.

Auld Lang Syne is like the national anthem of New Year. The song is sung at the strike of midnight on 31st of December in almost every English speaking country round the world. Auld Lang Syne is said to have been at least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700′s.  It was first published in 1796 after Burns’ death. It is believed that the early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scotch tune, “Auld Lang Syne” literally means ‘old long ago’, or ‘time remembered with fondness’ or simply, ‘the good old days.’

The Song
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of Auld Lang Syne.

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
for Auld Lang Syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet
for Auld Lang Syne.

Here’s more New Year songs:

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve
(A classic song written by Frank Loesser and sung by Ella Fitzgerald in 1960.)
When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year’s eve

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s Eve?

It’s Just Another New Year’s Eve
(This song was written by Marty Panzer and performed by Barry Manilow)
Don’t look so sad,
It’s not so bad you know.
It’s just another night,
That’s all it is.
It’s not the first,
It’s not the worst you know,
We’ve come through all the rest,
We’ll get through this.
We’ve made mistakes,
But we’ve made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans,
Who says they can’t come true?
Tonight’s another chance to start again.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we’re through this New Year
You’ll see, will be
Just fine.
We’re not alone, we’ve got the world you know.
And it won’t let us down, just wait and see.
And we’ll grow old, but think how wise we’ll grow.
There’s more you know, it’s only New Year’s Eve.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we’re through this New Year, you’ll see, will be
Just fine.

It’s always fun to sing sing sing during holiday celebrations, isn’t it? :) Good thing your Magic Sing is always handy and ready!
