スコットランド民謡『Auld Lang Syne』 　 日本では『蛍の光』

【スコットランド語】
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to min'?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
　 For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,
　 We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
　* For auld lang syne, my dear,  For auld lang syne,
　 We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. *
We twa hae paiddled in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
　* refrain *
And ther's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a right guid willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
　* refrain *

【英語】
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And old days gone by?
  For old days gone by, my dear,  For old days gone by,
  We'll take a cup of kindness yet,  For old days gone by.

We two have run about the slopes,
And picked the daisies fine;
but We've wandered many a weary foot,
Since days gone by.
   * For days gone by, my dear,  For days gone by,
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet,  For days gone by. *

We two have paiddled in the stream
From morning sun till dinner time;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since days gone by.
   * refrain *

And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand of thine!
and We'll take a right good-will draught ,
For days gone by.
   * refrain *

螢の光、窓の雪　　書讀む月日、重ねつゝ
何時しか年も　すぎの戸を　　開けてぞ今朝は　別れ行く

止まるも行くも　限りとて　互に思ふ　千萬の
心の端を　一言に　幸くと許り　歌ふなり

蛍の光や窓からの雪明かりの淡い光までをたよりに本を読み勉強した。
杉の戸を開けて（過ぎて来た戸を開けて）…
今朝は みんなと別れていくんだ。

故郷に残る者も　旅立って行く者も 今日限りなんだね。
お互い たくさんの思い出や 夢がある。
千も万もある思い出や 夢だけど　心をこめて たった一言「幸せになって！」と歌うんだよ。
