We sang a song about auld lang syne at the party.
auld lang syne
idiomDays gone by; former times.
Origin
first recorded 18th c.From Scots auld lang syne (“old long ago”, literally “old long since”), popularized by the poem “Auld Lang Syne” (1788) by Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns (1759–1796) based on an older song.
Old friends gathered at the pub to share stories and remember auld lang syne.
As the year drew to a close, they raised their glasses in a quiet toast to auld lang syne and the memories they had built together.
