A Guid New Year to ane an' a'

A guid new year to ane an' a' 
An' mony may ye see, 
An' during a' the years to come, 
O happy may ye be. 
An' may ye ne'er hae cause to mourn, 
To sigh or shed a tear; 
To ane an'a baith great an' sma' 
A hearty guid New year.

P. Livingstone / Alexander Hume


A good new year to one and all,
And many may you see
And during all the years to come,
Happy may you be.
And may you never have cause to mourn,

To sigh or shed a tear.

To one and all both great and small

A hearty,good New Year.

Here's one from me:

Have a good new year,one and all

Spend its every moment living

We only get this one small chance

One shot is all we're given.

Don't look back at all the might-have-beens

Don't look too far ahead

Live each year as if it's your last

You cannot when you're dead!
