On 25th January Scottish people celebrate BURNS NIGHT
ROBERT BURNS is the national Scottish poet. He was born in the 18th century and 'Auld Lang Syne' is one of his most famous poems, in Scots-language . It is a
traditional folk song and well known in many English-speaking countries.
Traditionally, the song is sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s
Eve to say goodbye to the old year. Moreover, people also sing this song
at funerals, graduations, and farewell to other occasions. In this poem,
the poet upholds the value of FRIENDSHIP and BROTHERHOOD. The song is
not about forgetting the past and welcoming the new. It’s about
valuing the old acquaintances and the memories associated with them. This song makes me feel a bit nostalgic as I have heard my dad singing this song at some dinners with family, but now I can't see my family as much as I want to because of the covid precautions. I suppose in Tirso de Molina many people feel the same. 😞 Here is a scene from the series The Crown with the poem/song
