New Year Songs 2009
Auld Lang Syne
About the Song "Auld Lang Syne"
Auld Lang Syne has almost the national anthem of New Year Songs! The song is sung at the stroke of midnight on 31st December in almost every English speaking country round the world. Auld Lang Syne song 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.
(Repeat entire verse)
Longer Version
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
And surely, ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae mn about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.
Chorus
We two hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
Chorus
And here's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
And we'll tak' a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus

Zhengyue chu-yi guo xin nian

The first of January is New Year
All of us enjoy the New Year
Everyone is happy when New Year comes
Visiting friends, wishing everyone the best,
Lighting firecrackers everywhere,
We are enjoying the New Year.
Wassailing Song
(Scottish Song)
Here we come a wassailing,
Among the leaves so green
Here we come a wondering
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you
And to your wassail too,
And godd bless you and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
Greek New Year Song
Ayios Vasilis erhete
Ke den mas katadehete
Apo, apo tin kesaria.
Sis arhon sis arhondissa Kiria!
Vastari penna ke harti
Zaharokandio zimoni
Harti, harti ke kalamari
Des eme, des eme, to pallikari!
To kalamari egrafe
Ti mira toy tin elege
Ke to, ke to harti omili.
To hriso, to hriso mas kaiofili!
Arhiminia kiarhihronia
Psili mou dendrolivania,
Ke arhi, ke arhi kalos mas hronos.
Eklisia, eklisia, me tayio thronos!
Arhi pou vgiken o Hristos
Ayios ke Pnevmatikos,
Sti gi, gi na perpatisi
Ke na mas, ke na mas kalokardisi!
English Translation
Saint Basil comes,
And does not acknowledge us
From Caesarea.
You are, you are the mistress of the house!
He holds a pen and paper
And leavened sweets
Paper, paper and ink. Look at me, look at me, the brave one!
The ink wrote
And told fortunes,
And the, and the paper spoke.
Our golden, our golden clove!
It is the first day of the month and the year,
My tall rosemary,
And from, and from the beginning a good year for us.
The church, the church with the holy throne!
Christ came in the beginning,
Holy and Spiritual;
On earth, on earth he walked
To give us, to give us good cheer!
Rosh Hashanah Song
(Jewish meaning Shana Tova)
Shana hal'cha shana ba'ah
Ani kappai arima
Shana tova lecha abba
Shana tova lach ima
Shana tova, shana tova.
English Translation
One year has passed,
A new year is coming.
I will raise my hands
And bid a Happy New Year
To mother and father.
Ring the Bells
(Sung to Row Row Row Your Boat)
Ring ring ring the bells
Ring them loud and clear
Let's tell everyone around
That the New Year is here!!
Hello New Year
(Sung to "Are You Sleeping?") Hello New Year
Hello New Year
Good bye old
Good bye old
Hello New Year
Hello New Year
We're glad you're here
We're glad you're here
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.

Family Slideshow Music Ideas
Slideshows are wonderful ways to display family photos for a special event or get-together, and adding music to the visuals turns a photo album into a multimedia experience. Selecting the right music can be a challenge, but having the perfect tunes for the pictures makes for a memorable presentation.
Match the occasion
Select music to match the occasion. For a wedding, romantic songs and duets are appropriate, whereas for a birthday, songs that were popular the year the birthday boy or girl was born would be good accompaniment. Anniversary celebrations also call for favorite music from the year of the couple's wedding and perhaps from years that were milestones in their life together: first home, the births or adoptions of children, new jobs, retirement and similar events. Memorial slideshows can be accompanied by favorite songs of the deceased.
Weddings and Anniversaries
For weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations of romance, popular songs include The Beatles' "All You Need is Love," Jack Johnson's "Better Together," Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love," Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Grow Old with Me," James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," Frank Sinatra's "It Had to Be You," Savage Garden's "Truly, Madly, Deeply," and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." To include songs written in specific years, you can look up the top hits of each year at Alaska Jim's Music Charts (link below).
Birthdays
Songs for slideshows at birthdays might include Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful," Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," Kool and the Gang's "Celebration," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," Frank Sinatra's "Thanks for the Memories" and "The Best is Yet to Come," Natalie Merchant's "These are the Days," and, of course, any number of recordings of "Happy Birthday."
Reunions
Family reunions can be accompanied by music that the whole family knows or has grown up with, childhood favorites and songs that celebrate togetherness. These might include Billy Joel's "This is the Time," The Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You," Sister Sledge's "We Are Family," Point of Grace's "Circle of Friends," Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings," and Whitney Houston's "You'll Never Stand Alone."
