In the song Auld Lang Syne..what does it mean?

Question:What does Auld Lang Syne mean and why should Auld acquaintances be forgotten?

Answers:
Auld acquaintances should not be forgotten. The first line is a question:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?

Roughly translated as: Should we forget old friends and never think of them?

(A New Year's Question -- forget the past? Or remeber and celebrate it? The answer is in the chorus:)

We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!


Translation: We'll have a drink for old time's sake (to remember old friends and times.)
